Configuring the Input Stream on Zixi Receiver

Zixi Receiver will connect to the Zixi Broadcaster to pull the Input stream that has been configured in the Zixi Broadcaster. When this connection is established, the output stream will appear automatically in the Zixi Broadcaster.

Stream names are case sensitive and must be identical.
