SCTE-35

ZEN Master enables you to monitor in real time SCTE-35 markers (including metadata) that are sent through ZEN Master for live video streams (for v13.1.40262 Broadcasters). This enables the user to remediate problems that occur in real-time and also to provide their customers with proof that the SCTE-35 markers triggering advertisements insertion were transmitted successfully to their destination.

ZEN Master monitors SCTE-35 markers on any inputs that natively use TS (e.g. Zixi TS, TS over RTP/UDP, RIST, SRT, and HLS with TS segments). The SCTE-35 markers are captured both on the ZEN Master Sources and ZEN Master Targets (for Zixi receiving devices e.g. Zixi Receiver, Zixi Receiver SDK, and Zixi Broadcaster).

The logs are stored in ZEN Master for one month. They can also be sent to a Kafka server for further processing and long-term storage, see Sending Notifications to a Kafka server.
