Streaming Standard UDP from a Local Zixi Receiver

To play a Zixi stream already being pulled to a broadcaster that is local to your machine, you must first push the stream from your local Zixi Receiver or Broadcaster to the local host network by configuring the following parameters:

Parameter	Value
Type	UDP
Primary Source	Select the desired input
Host	127.0.0.1
Port	Enter an available port (do not to use a port that conflicts with other traffic), e.g. 6000
NIC	127.0.0.1
TTL	1
PCR Smoothing [ms]	0
RTP	Unchecked

Once you are streaming to the localhost, Open VLC to play a standard UDP stream from the same local host and port.

To play a UDP stream:

Open VLC Player
On the Main Menu, click Media.
Sub-menu options are displayed.
Click Open Network Stream.
In the URL field, enter a UDP stream URL (e.g. udp://@127.0.0.1:your_specified_zixi_port)
Click Play.
