This enables the Feeder to receive UDP/RTP/RTP + SMPTE 2022 FEC streams.

To Add a UDP Stream:

Click the Inputs tab at the top of the Zixi Feeder screen.
Click New Input on the upper right hand side of the screen. The Add Input window is displayed:
Enter the unique Input Name (an internal name) for the Feeder.
Select UDP for the Input Source.
Select the relevant NIC (network card) to listen to for the stream.
If you want to receive the stream as Multicast, select this checkbox (see table below for additional parameters).
Select the desired protocol Type to be used to transmit the encoded stream (see table below for details).
Click OK.
The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen.
The UDP Stream is added to the ZiXi Feeder and now appears in the list of Input streams available.

Parameter	Description
Input Name	Specifies the internal name for the input stream.
Input Source
NIC	Specifies the local network card (at the source) that will be uses for receiving/listening on for the stream. Default: Any NIC.
Port	Specifies the port to listen on. This port must be open on all firewalls between the ZiXi Feeder and other devices it is communicating with.
Multicast
Address	Specifies the multicast address when the input stream is transmitted over multicast.
SSM Source	Specifies the source IP for a source-specific multicast. Note: This is the mechanism by which multicast sources can be specified, and then either rejected or accepted. In essence, this provides a very primitive firewall system for multicast networks.
Type	Select the appropriate protocol type from the drop-down list. RTP/UDP – the stream can be either RTP or UDP RTP + SMPTE 2022 FEC – the stream is an RTP stream with Forward Error Correction enabled UDP – the stream is a UDP stream only.
