To Create UDP Outputs:

  1. In the Zixi Receiver Outputs page, click  button.
  2. Select UDP as the output type. The Stream details window is displayed.
  3. Type in the unique identifier for this output in the Name field.

  4. In the Primary source drop-down list, select the desired input stream. 

    Note: First time an output stream is being configured a Primary source must be selected, on subsequent times a Fallback source can be chosen.

  5. Specify the Output parameters (see Receiver Outputs Stream Table).

  6. In the Host field, specify the IP address of the stream destination.

    Note: In the case of multi-cast specify an address that will identify it as such.

  7. In the Port field, specify the port of the destination.
  8. In the NIC field, select the network card from which the stream will be transmitted.
  9. Click OK.  The new UDP Output with its settings is created and now appears on the Outputs screen.

ParameterDescription

Output Parameters

 

Name

Specifies the unique name of the stream.

Primary source

Multiple sources are designated for redundancyand can be used by default according to a certain hierarchy. Specify the unique Stream ID that the remote receiver expects. Must be identical to the one on the Broadcaster. The drop-down list consists of all those previously configured inputs on the Receiver

Host

Specifies the IP address of the stream destination.

Port

Specifies the ports to listen to for the output streams.

NIC

Specifies the Network card used on the Receiver.

TTL

Specifies the time-to-live (TTL). Used to limit the range (or “scope”) of a multicast transmission.

PCR Smoothing [ms]

Enables transmission of the output at the correct rate. 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

Enables the Real-time Transport Protocol

SMPTE 2022 FEC

Specifies the FEC (Forward Error Correction) mode.

Remux

Enables remuxing to CBR (used for professional IRDs) thus avoiding bandwidth waste.

Bitrate [kbps]

Specifies the CBR bitrate to target for a remuxed stream.
