ZiXi Broadcaster supports the following output types:
- UDP Output – Outputs the stream in UDP or RTP format over unicast or multicast.
- File Output – ZiXi Feeder will output the stream as a file.
- Push to Broadcaster – Push streams that are Zixi protocol streams to a Zixi Broadcaster.
Output Grouping
For deployments that include a DNS Load Balancer, it is possible to group multiple outputs into a single Output Group. All the outputs created in Zixi Feeder within the same group and with the same host name, will be resolved into the same IP address (i.e. the same Zixi Broadcaster). This feature can be used to ensure all adaptive streams will be delivered to the same machine (i.e. resolved to the same destination IP address). For more information, see Output Groups.
Network Bonding
Zixi's Network Bonding feature enables you to divide a stream into several network channels by utilizing multiple NICs and links and then subsequently reuniting them at the Zixi Broadcaster side. For more information see Network Bonding.
