Creating HTTP Push Outputs

The HTTP Push output stream can be encapsulated in HLS or DASH. The source of the output stream is a predefined adaptive group that has been configured in the Adaptive Groups screen. The configuration of the stream includes the option to delete outdated stream fragments on the server. Output streams can be pushed to one Zixi Broadcasters or Zixi Receiver.

To create an HTTP Push Output:

In the Zixi Broadcaster Outputs page, click . The New Output window is displayed.
Select the HTTP Push option (radio button)
Type in the unique identifier for this output stream in the Output Name.
Select an Input Adaptive Group to be made available on this output from the adjacent drop-down list.
Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: not selected.
Enter the Output Parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
Click OK.

Output Stream Parameters Table

Parameter	Description
Output Parameters
Encapsulation Options	HLS Encapsulation - the output stream, which includes all the streams in the selected Adaptive group, will be encapsulated in HTTP Live Streaming format. Dash Encapsulation - the output stream, which includes all the streams in the selected Adaptive group, will be encapsulated in MPEG DASH format.
URL	The URL address of the destination host for the push stream.
Delete outdated stream fragments on server	Select this checkbox to delete any outdated stream fragments from the server.
Ignore TLS certificate errors	When the Zixi Broadcaster acts as a client (e.g. streaming to another Zixi Broadcaster), there is an option to *ignore TLS certificate errors* for the HTTP Push output. This means that even when the Zixi Broadcaster that receives the stream doesn’t have a valid certificate, the stream will be transmitted to it using DTLS.
