Configure Receiving Zixi Broadcaster to Output NDI Stream

now that we have a zixi broadcaster ingesting ndi and delivering a compressed zixi stream, as described in the previous section, we can now set up another broadcaster at another location to ingest the zixi stream, decode it, and publish it to the network as an ndi stream the broadcaster can also ingest any other supported input type such as hls, rist, srt, or others, and publish that as ndi to the network for this tutorial we are using the zixi protocol to transport ndi content from a broadcaster in one location to a broadcaster in another location so we will be ingesting a zixi protocol stream, via a pull request step 1 – log in to receiving zixi broadcaster first, you need to log in to the zixi broadcaster that you will use to receive the stream when the broadcaster is first installed, the default user name is ' admin ' and the default password is ‘ 1234 ’ to log in to zixi broadcaster in your web browser, navigate to http //localhost 4444 http //localhost 4444/ a user authentication window opens in the user name field, enter your user name in the password field, enter your password click ok the broadcaster ui opens on the status page step 2 create a new transcoding profile create a transcoding profile that will be used to convert the zixi stream to raw video that can be used for an ndi output to create a new transcoding profile in the main navigation, click transcoder click + new profile the add new profile window is displayed in the codec type field, select raw video in the profile configuration section, in the resolution field, enter 1920 x 1080 fill in additional parameters as necessary, for more information about configuring transcoding profiles, see creating new transcoding profiles docid\ nnzh8csjpfqldlzcxgz4c click apply step 3 create a new audio encoding profile create an audio encoding profile that will be used to convert the zixi stream to raw audio that can be used for an ndi output to create a new audio encoding profile in the main navigation, click transcoder click + new profile the add new profile window is displayed in the codec type field, select raw audio in the profile configuration section, in the sampling rate field, select copy from source from the drop down list click apply step 4 create a new zixi pull input create a zixi pull input to bring the stream from the sending broadcaster to the receiving broadcaster to create a zixi pull input in the main navigation, click inputs click + new input the add new input stream window is displayed in the stream id field, enter a unique identifier for this stream in the receiving broadcaster, e g receivedndiinput select the pull radio button for the stream type in the stream parameters section, in the host field, enter the hostname or ip address of the sending broadcaster (from which the stream is being pulled) in the stream field, enter the precise stream id (case sensitive) that you assigned to this stream on the sending broadcaster in the previous section, e g ndi input fill in additional parameters as necessary, for more information about configuring pull inputs, see adding pull streams docid\ rjl8u4eamtpf7zved99i2 click ok step 5 create a new ndi transcoded output create an ndi transcoded output to publish the stream as ndi to create an ndi transcoded output in the main navigation, click inputs click on the settings icon to the right of the input you created in configure receiving zixi broadcaster to output ndi stream docid 7noxlshtb0ybqzsgzmds2 select transcode from the drop down list the edit input stream window is displayed in the stream id field, enter a unique name to identify this output on your zixi broadcaster, e g ndi output in the video profile field, select from the drop down list the raw video profile you created in configure receiving zixi broadcaster to output ndi stream docid 7noxlshtb0ybqzsgzmds2 in the audio profile field, select from the drop down list the raw audio profile you created in configure receiving zixi broadcaster to output ndi stream docid 7noxlshtb0ybqzsgzmds2 in the output typ e field, select ndi from the drop down list fill in additional parameters as necessary for more information about configuring ndi outputs, see creating an ndi output docid\ tzdasqittn mwxoos9kf6 click ok step 6 monitor the stream you can monitor the stream using the newtek studio monitor program included in the tools package from newtek this program can be used to verify that the zixi broadcaster is successfully publishing the ndi stream on the network
