To Create a Push to Broadcaster Output:
- On the Outputs page of ZiXi Feeder, click on the upper- right end corner of the screen.
The New Output window is displayed:
- Enter the unique Name that you want to configure on the Feeder.
- Select Push to Broadcaster as the Type of output.
Select the Input name from the drop-down list.
Note: The drop-down list consists of all those previously configured inputs on the Feeder.
- Select the Program from the drop-down list.
- Select the Filter for the output from the drop-down list.
- Enter the Parameters (see table below for additional parameters).
- If desired, enter the Advanced Properties (see table below for additional parameters).
- If desired, enter the Remote RTMP Output (see table below for additional parameters).
- Click OK. The New Output with its new settings takes effect.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Specifies the unique name of the stream. |
Type | Specifies the output type. |
Input |
|
Input Name | Specifies the Input which has been previously configured as Input in the Feeder. |
Program | If you have created a filter, you can select the relevant program. |
Filter | If you have created a filter, you can select the relevant filter |
Parameters |
|
Stream ID | Specify the unique Stream ID that the Broadcaster expects. Must be identical to the one configured on the Broadcaster. |
Host | Specify The destination Broadcaster name or IP address to which you are pushing the stream. Note that additional (failover) destinations can be added by clicking the adjacent “+” button.. |
Port | Specify the ports to listen on for Push streams. |
Password | Optional. Specifies a password string that can be used to authenticate that the Feeder is allowed to push this stream to the configured Zixi Broadcaster. Only a Feeder who has the Password and the Stream ID of the input stream that was configured on the Broadcaster can stream into it. |
Max bitrate [kbps] | Specifies the maximum bitrate of the stream. Note - Will be used for internal memory allocation and will not affect the transmitted bitrate. Recommended: double the bitrate of the stream.. |
Max Latency [ms] | Specifies the maximum number of milliseconds for which the Zixi Broadcaster should buffer the stream. Default: 6000 |
MMT | Specify this standard that supports HEVC if required. [MPEG media transport is a digital container standard that supports High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video] |
Single Link | Select this option if you wish to transmit the stream as a single broadcast channel. |
Host | Specifies the IP address of the Broadcaster to which you are transmitting. |
Port | Specifies the Port number on which you are transmitting. Default: 2088 |
NIC | Specifies which one of the local Network cards are being used to transmit on the internet. Default: Any NIC |
Bonded Link Destination | Bonding links enables you to divide a stream into several network channels and then subsequently reunite them on the Broadcaster’s side. |
Host | Specifies the IP address of the Broadcaster to which you are transmitting. |
Port | Specifies the Port number on which you are transmitting. Default: 2088 |
NIC | Specifies which one of the local Network cards are being used to transmit on the internet. Default: Any NIC |
Bitrate Limit (kbps) | Specifies the maximum bitrate to be transmitted via this link. |
Backup | Backup NIC used only when primary links cannot satisfy connection or transmission bitrate requirements. |
Advanced Properties |
|
Alternative host | Specifies an alternative host for redundancy (in the event that the Feeder senses that host is not functioning). |
PCR Smoothing delay (ms) | Enables transmission of the output at the correct rate. Required when the receiving device is sensitive and can’t lock on to the stream (in such a case, the recommended latency is 100 - 1000 ms). |
Encryption Type | Specify the type of Encryption. Selection of Automatic will generate the encryption and exchange it securely between the applications automatically. |
Key | Click Generate and the encryption key for the input stream will appear in the adjacent text box. Send it to the end-user to decipher the received encoded stream. |
Run encoder feedback script | Reports back to the encoder the current available bitrate according to Zixi’s network condition analysis. Supporting encoders will adjust their output bitrate accordingly (adaptive bitrate). |
Minimum bitrate [kbps] | Specifies the minimum bitrate that will be reported to the encoder. |
Remote RTMP Output | Note: Allow automatic RTMP option must be enabled on the Broadcaster. |
URL | Specifies the Stream URL of the remote RTMP server. |
Backup URL | Specifies a backup URL (similar to the primary URL) in case the primary RTMP server is faulty, then the Broadcaster will switch and stream to the backup one. |
Stream | Specifies the unique name for the stream that the RTMP server expects at the other end of the connection. |
Username | Specifies the User name to authenticate on the remote RTMP server. |
Password | Specifies the string that is used for authorization on the remote RTMP server. |
Hot Backup | Specifies that the Broadcaster will output to the 2 RTMP servers (Primary & Backup) in parallel. |
