File Transfer Settings

Parameter	Description
Download	Enables the file transfer download from this Zixi Broadcaster.
HTTP Input	Enables HTTP acceleration mode. In this mode, instead of specifying a file location on the server’s hard disk, the Zixi Broadcaster receives an HTTP address from which it will retrieve the file and then transfer it to the Client.
Upload	Enables the file transfer upload to this Zixi Broadcaster server.
Encrypt Downloads	Enables the Zixi auto encryption for all file transfer downloads.
Max download speed [kbps]	Specifies the maximal download speed in Kbps for file transfer.
Max upload speed [kbps]	Specifies the maximal upload speed in Kbps for file transfer.
Initial bitrate [kbps]	Specifies the initial download bitrate. The recommended bitrate can be the bitrate of the stream.
HTTP/Origin cache size [MB]	This setting is relevant for HTTP acceleration mode and/or Origin/Edge architecture, where the Zixi Broadcaster retrieves the file from another Origin or HTTP server and then delivers it to the Client. This setting determines the cache size allocation on the Zixi Broadcaster. The cache is used to accelerate the delivery of files that have been previously requested.
