Viewing Stream Statistics

You can view all the accumulative statistics for a connected input stream in real-time.

To View Stream Statistics:

  • On the Inputs page of Zixi Broadcaster, click the desired incoming stream for which you want to view statistics for. The stream’s statistics are displayed on the bottom of the screen.
FieldDescription

Bitrate (kbps)

Displays the current bitrate of the input stream.

Uptime

Displays the amount of time the stream has been active.

Reconnections

Displays the number of reconnection attempts.

RTT (ms)

Displays the Round Trip Time (RTT) from the source (in milliseconds).

Jitter (ms)
