Creating File Outputs in Receiver
To create File Outputs:
- In the Zixi Receiver Outputs page, click the + New Output button.
- Select File as the output type.
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 is being configured a Primary source it must be selected, on subsequent times a Fallback source can be chosen.
- Enter the Path in which the ts file will be saved.
- Select Start on I-frame if you want the first frame of the cut to be an I-frame.
- Select Cut Periodically to avoid creating an exceptionally large file and then specify the time duration of each file of that one stream.
- Click OK.
The new File Output with its settings is created and now appears on the Outputs page.
