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 The configuration of the stream includes the option to delete outdated stream fragments on the server.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.

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.
