Output Stream Parameters Table

ParameterDescription
Output Parameters

Stream ID

Specify the unique Stream ID that the remote Zixi Receiver/Broadcaster expects (recommended – identical to ‘Input Stream’).

Remote ID

Specify the Zixi Receiver ID (shown in the Zixi Receiver/Broadcaster Status window) that will be allowed to pull the stream.

Password

Specify a string that can be used to authenticate that the Zixi Receiver is authorized to pull this stream (Optional).

 Latency [ms]

Specify the buffer size that Zixi Broadcaster will be able to maintain for error correction.

For example, 6000 milliseconds would ensure that the stream is protected for six seconds of errors in the network.

Default: Remote configuration.B

Remote configuration – use the latency configured in the Zixi Receiver/Broadcaster. Otherwise use a value to override the value configured in the Zixi Receiver/Broadcaster.

Enable Encryption

Select this checkbox to encrypt the Output stream.

Encryption type (for Encryption enabled)

Specify the type of Encryption (AES 128/192/256). Click Generate to generate an encryption key or enter another encryption key.

Enable IFB/Talkback

Select this checkbox to enable IFB/Talkback for one-way communication from the director or assistant director to on-air talent or a remote location. Selecting the checkbox allows the decoder with a Zixi Receiver to send audio back to the encoder with a Zixi Feeder. This offers the ability to, for example, give audio feedback to the camera operator.

Port

The port that will be used to send the audio feedback.
