You can add input streams to Zixi Broadcaster from one of the following sources:

  • Zixi Feeder (Push) – the Zixi feeder pushes the stream to the Zixi Broadcaster. Since both the Zixi Feeder and the Zixi Broadcaster use the Zixi protocol, the stream is protected by the Zixi protocol.
  • Another Zixi Broadcaster (Pull) – the Zixi Broadcaster can pull a stream from another Zixi Broadcaster. Since both components use the Zixi protocol, the stream can be protected by the Zixi protocol.   
  • UDP streams - the source is a UDP or RTP stream, RTP + SMPTE 2022 FEC, and RIST, all over unicast or multicast. 
  • Delayed - input stream will be stored on the local disk, while a variant of the input is created and delayed according to the specified duration.
  • Local files (for VOD) – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network.
  • RTMP streams - The source is an RTMP stream, pushed into the Zixi Broadcaster or pulled by it.  
  • RTSP - The source is an RTSP stream, pushed into the Zixi Broadcaster, or pulled by it.
  • HLS -  The source is an HLS stream that is pulled by the Zixi Broadcaster.
  • HTTP Pull/Push (TS over HTTP) - The source is a Transport Stream over HTTP, which is pushed into Zixi Broadcaster or pulled by it.
  • RIST – The source is a RIST stream using Simple or Main Profile over unicast or multicast.
  • SRT – The source is an SRT stream and is configured via Zen Master or Zixi API only.
