This is an alternative method (shortcut) to adding an output to a specific input stream instead of configuring it through the Outputs screen. The available types of outputs are:

    • UDP – Target is a UDP or RTP stream, over unicast or multicast.
    • RTMP – Real Time Messaging Protocol streams can be played on systems that accept this protocol as input. Originally designed to enable Adobe® Flash® streams to be sent between a server and a client, RTMP has become a popular protocol for streaming into content-delivery networks (CDNs). As part of the RTMP output configuration process you can configure YouTube Live and Facebook Live streams.
    • Pull – Pull streams are Zixi protocol streams destined for Zixi Receivers. In this case, the Zixi Broadcaster can offer status and statistics for a stream that is being pulled from it by another device.
    • Push – Push streams are Zixi protocol streams destined for other Zixi Broadcasters.
    • HTTP Push – The HTTP Push output stream can be encapsulated in HLS or DASH. The source of the output stream is a predefined adaptive group that has been configured in the Adaptive Groups The configuration of the stream includes the option to delete outdated stream fragments on the server. Output streams can be pushed to one Zixi Broadcasters or Zixi Receiver. 
    • S3 Bucket – The HTTP output stream (HLS or DASH) can be pushed to an AWS S3 Bucket. The native S3 support includes the ability to configure the S3 authentication credential, including the Region, Access Key, and Secret Key.
