Working in tandem, the Zixi Broadcaster and Zixi Receiver are now able to identify and report on dropped packets from a Broadcaster to a Receiver on a per PID basis.  The impact of dropped packets for video or audio PIDs is corrupted video or audio.  The impact of dropped packets for Ad markers (SCTE-35) is those Ads would not be properly loaded and displayed in a downstream system. 

In ZEN Master, the percentage of successfully delivered packets is displayed on a graph.   The resolution of the graph depends on the zoom level and is as low as 1 datapoint per minute.  To view the stream delivery graph, select the History tab when viewing a Target and expand the Stream Delivery graph. 

Stream Delivery analysis in the Zixi Broadcaster may be a separately priced and licensed feature.
