Configure Sending Zixi Broadcaster to Ingest NDI Stream

step 1 – log in to sending zixi broadcaster first, you need to log in to the zixi broadcaster that you will use to send 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 new transcoding profile that will be used to convert the ndi video to h 265 to create a new transcoding profile in the main navigation of the broadcaster, click transcoder click + new profile the add new profile window is displayed in the codec type field, select h 265 in the profile configuration section, in the bitrate mode, select vbr from the drop down list in the average bitrat e field, enter 10000 in the max bitrate field, enter 15000 in the performance field, select high quality from the drop down list in the advanced options section, verify that the copy gop from source checkbox is not selected in the gop field, enter 30 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 a new audio encoding profile that will be used to convert the ndi audio to aac 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 aac in the profile configuration section, in the bitrate field, select 512 from the drop down list fill in additional parameters as necessary, for more information about configuring transcoding profiles, see creating new transcoding profiles docid\ nnzh8csjpfqldlzcxgz4c click apply step 4 create a new ndi input create an input on the sending broadcaster to ingest the ndi stream to create a new ndi 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 name to identify this input on your zixi broadcaster, e g ndi intput select the ndi radio button for the type of input stream in the stream parameters section, in the stream field, select from the drop down list the desired ndi stream in the video profile field, select from the drop down list the transcoding profile you created in configure sending zixi broadcaster to ingest ndi stream docid\ pov0qfytqzsyar83hxh e in the audio profile field, select from the drop down list the audio encoding profile you created in configure sending zixi broadcaster to ingest ndi stream docid\ pov0qfytqzsyar83hxh e in the audio reference level field, select aac 512k from the drop down lis in the transport stream bitrate field, verify that the value is 0 (default) fill in additional parameters as necessary, for more information about configuring ndi inputs, see adding ndi streams docid\ o9wl9oxptcwjr6xrnaqd1 click ok step 5 create a new zixi pull output for this tutorial we will send a pull output from the sending broadcaster to the receiving broadcaster using zixi protocol with the default settings the following procedure describes how to manually create a pull output on the sending broadcaster you can configure your broadcaster to automatically allow pull outputs once this feature is enabled, when you create a "pull input" on your receiving broadcaster, the corresponding pull output is automatically created on the sending broadcaster to enable automatic pull outputs, see authorization docid\ op1gigovcufeyffjhwymp in the zixi broadcaster user guide docid\ jgwixyn936aezmonzlern to create a pull output on the broadcaster in the zixi broadcaster ui, in the main navigation, click outputs the outputs page opens on the outputs page, click the + new output button in the menu bar the new output window is displayed in the output name field, enter a unique identifier for this output on the broadcaster, e g demooutput in the input stream field, select from the dropdown list the input that you created in configure sending zixi broadcaster to ingest ndi stream docid\ pov0qfytqzsyar83hxh e for the stream type selection, select the pull radio button in the stream id field, enter a unique identifier that will be used by the receiving broadcaster to identify this stream it is recommended to use the identical name as the input stream name, e g ndi input make a note of the precise stream id (case sensitive) that you assigned you will enter this stream id when you configure the receiving broadcaster to pull this stream in the following section in the remote id field, enter the id of the receiving broadcaster that will pull this stream the id can be found on the status page of the ui of the receiving broadcaster to learn about additional configuration options, see adding pull outputs in the zixi broadcaster ug click ok the new pull output with its settings is created and now appears on the outputs screen of your zixi broadcaster ui the status should be shown as offline (blue), since the output hasn’t yet been “pulled” by the receiver
