Live Protocols

The Live Protocols screen enables the configuration of the HTTP/HTTPS/RTMP/WebSocket server that will broadcast the streams using live streaming protocols, particularly for adaptive streaming and internet protocols.

Field	Description
HTTP Server
HTTP/HTTPS Server Public IP	Override the Zixi IP (e.g. download.Zixi.com) with a public IP.
Enable HTTP Server	Enable a non-secure connection over HTTP.
HTTP Server Port	Defines the HTTP Server Port. Default:7777
Enable HTTPS Server	Enable a secure connection over HTTPS.
HTTPS Server Port	Defined the HTTPS server port. Default: 443
HTTPS certificate uploaded (for HTTPS enabled)	If no certificate has been uploaded, click Upload and navigate to the file location.
HTTPS private key uploaded (for HTTPS enabled)	If no private key has been uploaded, click Upload and navigate to the file location.
HTTPS private key passphrase (for HTTPS enabled)	Enter the Private key passphrase for your HTTPS account.
SSL Setup Status	Displays the status of the SSL certificate upload process. Incomplete – the SSL setup process is incomplete. OK – the SSL setup process is complete.
Enable WebSocket server	Select checkbox to enable the WebSocket server. The WebSocket server uses the WebSocket protocol to stream content. The WebSocket protocol provides full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection.
WebSocket Server Port	If you have enabled WebSocket, enter a dedicated port for WebSocket. (Default: 8100)
Enable FLV	Enable the streaming via the FLV protocol.
Enable HLS	Enable the streaming via the HLS protocol.
Enable CMAF (DASH + fMP4 HLS)	Enable the streaming via the CMAF protocol.
Enable SHOUTcast	Enable the streaming via the SHOUTcast protocol.
Enable HLS Fast playback	Enables low latency HLS and DASH. When this setting is enabled, all input streams on the Zixi Broadcaster will be published to the origin server as HLS streams, so only enable this feature if it will be actually used.
Sub GOP HLS Fast playback	Select this option to enable publishing of HLS chunk before the response is complete. This means that Zixi Broadcaster will start sending the HTTP response as chunks of data when they are ready before the complete response is available.
HLS DVR Maximum Recording Duration [HH:MM]	Defines the maximum recording duration for HLS DVR. Default: 24 hours.
Allow Automatic HTTP Push input	Automatically creates an HTTP Push input without the need to define it in the Input screen.
Allow Automatic HTTP Pull output	Automatically creates an HTTP Pull output without the need to define it in the Output screen. This works in tandem with Zixi Feeder (Remote HTTP Pull Output setting, which enables sending a Zixi-protected stream to Zixi Broadcaster and then Zixi Broadcaster automatically outputs the stream as HTTP Pull) and SDK (which includes a zixi_http_pull_out_config option). By enabling this option, the HTTP Pull streams will be automatically created as they arrive into Zixi Broadcaster and displayed in the Output screen.
RTMP Server
Enable RTMP Server	Enables Zixi Broadcaster to handle incoming RTMP streams.
RTMP Server Port	The port through which the RTMP stream will be transmitted. Default: 1935
Allow Automatic RTMP Input	Automatically creates an RTMP input without the need to define it in the Input screen.
Allow Automatic RTMP Output	Automatically creates an RTMP output without the need to define it in the Output screen. This works in tandem with Zixi Feeder (Remote RTMP Output setting, which enables sending a Zixi-protected stream to Zixi Broadcaster and then Zixi Broadcaster automatically outputs the stream as RTMP) and SDK (which includes a zixi_rtmp_out_config option). By enabling this option, the RTMP streams will be automatically created as they arrive into Zixi Broadcaster and displayed in the Output screen.
