Wirecast Configuration

Once the Wirecast Feeder is installed and Wirecast is configured, the Wirecast encoder will configure the Feeder with the IP address, Port, Stream ID, etc. and will send the encoded stream to the Feeder via RTMP on the local computer. All of this happens behind the scenes. You only have to configure Wirecast just like any other stream destination in Wirecast.

To configure Wirecast:

1. In Wirecast, go to Output > Output Settings.

   Open

   

2. In the Destination field, click More.

   Open

   

3. Scroll down and select the Zixi checkbox and click OK.

4. Select Zixi as the Output Destination.

5. Configure the Zixi destination with the Broadcaster IP address, Ports, and Channel Name (Stream ID) from the Broadcaster configuration above.

   
   At this point, your Zixi destination is configured and the Zixi protocol will be used to deliver your stream to your Broadcaster or AWS MediaConnect. Once you start streaming, you should see the input stream show up in the Broadcaster UI or in ZEN Master or in AWS MediaConnect. If you do not see the input stream, verify that your local firewall is not blocking outbound UDP traffic on the port specified above and that the firewall on your Broadcaster is not blocking inbound UDP traffic on that port or verify that your AWS MediaConnect Flow is active.
