VOD (Video on Demand)

The VOD feature enables you to upload stream-able (.ts and mp4) files to the file system of the server on which Broadcaster is installed as well as make a previously recorded input stream available on demand (VOD). The VOD content is accessed through a local folder, where the Zixi Broadcaster is located. This local folder can be optionally mapped through a symbolic link or shortcut to a remote folder. The Broadcaster creates a unique URL for each file.

The streams can be played back using VLC (with Zixi Plugin for Zixi streams) and/or streamed to a Zixi Receiver or to a Zixi Broadcaster. During playback, an Output (with output type – Download) will be created automatically on the Source Zixi Broadcaster, as shown below.
