To Create UDP Outputs:
- In the Zixi Receiver Outputs page, click the + New Output
- Select UDP as the output type (default).
The Stream details window is displayed.
Enter the unique identifier for this output in the Name field
In the Primary source drop-down list, select the desired input stream (to learn more about sources see Managing Sources for High Availability)
The first time an output stream is being configured a Primary source must be selected, on subsequent times a Fallback source can be selected
Specify the Output parameters (see Receiver Output Parameters Table).
In the Host field, specify the IP address of the stream destination.
In the case of multicast specify an address that will identify it as such.
- In the Port field, specify the port of the destination.
- In the NIC field, select the network card from which the stream will be transmitted.
- Click OK.
The new UDP Output with its settings is created and now appears on the Outputs screen.
Receiver Outputs Parameters Table
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Output Parameters |
|
Name | Specify the unique name of the stream. |
Primary source | Multiple sources are designated for redundancy and can be used by default according to a certain hierarchy. The drop-down list consists of all those previously configured inputs on the Receiver. Select the desired input stream that will be the primary source. To add an additional (fallback) source, see ??. |
Host | Specify the IP address of the stream destination. |
Port | Specify the ports to listen to for the output streams. |
NIC | Specify the Network card used on the Receiver. |
TTL | Specify the time-to-live (TTL). Used to limit the range (or “scope”) of a multicast transmission. |
PCR Smoothing [ms] | Specify the PCR smoothing latency. This enables transmission of the output at the correct rate. This is required when the receiving device is sensitive and can’t lock on to the stream (in such a case, the recommended latency is 100 - 1000 ms). |
RTP | Click the checkbox to enable the Real-time Transport Protocol. |
SMPTE 2022 FEC | Specify the FEC (Forward Error Correction) mode. Options are: Disable (default), 1D and 2D. Disables the FEC or specifies the type of FEC matrix to D1/ D2. |
Remux | Click the checkbox to enable remuxing to CBR (used for professional IRDs) thus avoiding bandwidth waste. |
Bitrate [kbps] | Specify the CBR bitrate to target for a remuxed stream. |
