The UDP output outputs the stream in UDP or RTP format over unicast or multicast.

To Create a UDP Output:

  1. In the Outputs screen of Zixi Feeder, click the + New Output button in the menu bar.
    The New output     window is displayed:
  2. Type in the unique identifier for this output in the Name field.
  3. From the Type drop-down list, select UDP Output.
  4. From the Input Name drop-down list, select the desired input stream.
  5. If you have created a filter, select the desired Program and Filter.
  6. Specify the Properties (see Output Parameters Table below for additional parameters).
  7. If you would like to add this stream to an Output Group, select an existing Group from the dropdown list OR create a new group by clicking . (see Output Parameters Table below for additional details).
  8. In the Host field, specify the IP address of the stream destination.
  9. In the Port field, specify the port of the destination.
  10. In the NIC field, select the network card from which the stream will be transmitted.
  11. Click OK.
    The new UDP Output with its settings is created and now appears on the Outputs screen.

Properties
GroupIf your deployment includes 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. You can create a new output group or use an existing group. See Output Groups for more details.

Host

Specify the IP address of the stream destination.

Port

Specify the port of the stream destination.

Smoothing

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).

NIC

Specify the Network card used.

TTL

Specify the network Time-to-Live parameter
