To Add RTSP Streams:
- In the Zixi Broadcaster Navigation menu, click the Inputs tab.
- In the Menu bar, click New Input. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
Enter the unique Stream I.D.
Note this must be identical (case sensitive) to the stream name configured in the Zixi Feeder.
- Select the maximum concurrent connections to this stream from the Max. Outputs drop-down list. Default: Unlimited.
- Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: Selected.
- Select RTMP for the input stream.
- Specify the Stream Parameters (see Input Stream Parameters Table).
- If you want to Enable time shift, select this checkbox (see Input Stream Parameters Table).
- If you want to Transmit as multicast, select this checkbox (see Input Stream Parameters Table).
- If you want to Enable encryption , select this checkbox (see Input Stream Parameters Table).
- If you want to configure the Recording Parameters, specify them in the respective fields (see Input Stream Parameters Table).
- Click OK. The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen. The RTMP Stream is added to the Zixi Broadcaster and now appears in the list of streams available in the Zixi Broadcaster inputs UI.
Input Stream Parameters Table
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Stream ID | Specify the unique identifier for this stream. |
Max Outputs | Specify the maximum number of allowed outputs. Default: Unlimited. |
Show in Matrix | Select the checkbox to show the stream in the Matrix. |
| Stream Parameters | |
URL | Type the Stream URL from which the Zixi Broadcaster will access. |
Video UDP Port | Specify the UDP port to be used for streaming the video. |
| Audio UDP Port | Specify the UDP port to be used for streaming the video. |
| Enable time shift | Select this checkbox to broadcast the stream at a later time. |
Maximum delay [hh:mm:ss] | Specify the maximum time delay of this input. |
Transmit as multicast | Enables transmission of this stream’s outputs as multicasts. A Zixi receiver will receive it in multicast (unless it is out of the LAN in which case it will relay in as unicast). You can also force Multicast only outputs. Requires enabling Multicast Pull in the Settings. |
Multicast Only | Select the check box to force only Multicast outputs. |
| Recording Parameters | |
Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours |
Keep recorded files for [hours] | Specify the maximum time for storing the recording. |
Custom Path | Optionally specify a storage location for the recorded files that is relative to the root folder. This location bypasses the location specified as the root folder in the Settings > General screen. |
File Name Template | Specify the file name pattern that Zixi will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. |
