Encrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster

You can encrypt a specific input stream using static key AES scrambling encryption (AES 128, AES 192, AES 256). If the stream has been encrypted at the source, it can be encrypted by Zixi Broadcaster only after its decryption. The stream encryption prevents any further processing, such as analysis, transcoding, etc. For more information, see Transcoder section.

To encrypt an input stream in Zixi Broadcaster:

1. In Inputs screen, click +New Input.
2. Select the relevant input type.
3. Fill in the stream parameters.
4. At the bottom, select the Enable Encryption checkbox.
5. In the Encryption Type field, select AES 128, AES 192, AES 256 for fixed encryption.
6. In the Encryption Key field, enter your own key or click Generate to generate a key by the system. The exact key should be used to decrypt the stream on the other end. 
    
7. Click OK.
