Configuring Sources for WebRTC

when creating/editing a source in zen master, you can activate webrtc for that source, enabling users to monitor that source using webrtc webrtc needs to be activated independently for each source in zen master (by default it is disabled) to configure a source for webrtc in the zen master ui, in the main navigation, click sources click + add (or click edit for an existing source) the create new source selection window is displayed fill in the parameters as needed in the webrtc playback section, select the desired playback method select one of the following options disabled users will not be able to view this source using webrtc (default) pass through passes the stream through to webrtc without transcoding this option can only be used if the input stream is already in a webrtc compliant format (video h 264 codec with baseline or main profile and no b frames, audio opus codec) auto zen master automatically transcodes the stream using the optimal profile for each specific user in this option zixi broadcaster will decode the video, transforming it into raw frames, which will be passed to the webrtc library, where it will be re encoded for each individual user best quality however, if monitored by multiple users this can consume extensive resources 1080p/720p/480p/360p zen master transcodes the stream to a webrtc compliant profile with the specified resolution the transcoding is done by zixi broadcaster’s transcoder this method requires a zixi broadcaster with x264 or nvidia for transcoding this method allows many users to monitor the stream without encoding separately for each individual user, which saves cpu capacity since there is only one stream version, it is recommended to encode to a low resolution and low bitrate so that the stream will be viewable by all users monitoring the stream click save
