Parameter

Description

URL

Type the Stream URL from which the Zixi MediaConnect Feeder  will access the stream.

Video UDP Port

Specify the UDP port to be used for streaming the video.

Audio UDP Port

Specify the UDP port to be used for streaming the audio.

Pad to bitrate

If the stream's bitrate fluctuates you can pad the stream with null packets to create a steady bitrate. This setting determines the padding level in kbps.

Latency

Specify the maximum latency you can tolerate for the stream in milliseconds. Recommended - the length of two frames.

TCP

Select this checkbox for streams that use TCP protocol. Leave unselected in case the stream uses UDP.

Recording Parameters

Select this checkbox to customize the recording parameters.

Max recorded file duration [hours]

Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours

Keep recorded files for [hours]

Specify the maximum time for storing the recording. Default: 0 hours

Custom Path

Optionally specify a storage location for the recorded files that is relative to the root folder. This location bypasses the location specified as the root folder in the Settings > General screen.

File Name Template

Specify the file name pattern that Zixi will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated.

The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:

  • %S=stream id - optional.

  • %Y=year - optional

  • %M=month - optional

  • %D=day - optional

  • %T=HH.MM.SS creation time - mandatory

For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts.
