When a new version of Zixi Broadcaster becomes available, you will receive a new installation archive file (.tar.gz file) from your Zixi representative to upgrade your Zixi Broadcaster software. It is recommended to perform the installation within a "maintenance window" and notify end users that the streaming will be momentarily interrupted. The upgrade process may last a few minutes after which the streams will be automatically resumed.

To upgrade the version:

  1. In the Status page of the Zixi Broadcaster UI, click Options in the menu bar.
    The drop-down menu is displayed.

  2. Click Upgrade. 

  3. Select the relevant installation archive file (.tar.gz file) and click Open.
    The installation process will begin. The process may take up to a few minutes. During the process, the streams and the management UI will not be available. After the upgrade, all streams will be automatically resumed.
