Step 3 - Creating a "Push to Broadcaster" Output in Feeder
Once you have configured an Input on the Feeder, you can create an Output to send the Source to your Zixi Broadcaster. This can be done either as a Push or Pull interaction. It can also be done in various formats (e.g. UDP, HTTP or Zixi Protocol).
For this tutorial we will create a "Push to Broadcaster" Output, which uses Zixi Protocol to push the Source to your Broadcaster.
In the Zixi Feeder 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 Name field, enter a unique name to refer to this Output on the Feeder, e.g. SampleFeederOutput01.
In the Type section, select Push to Broadcaster (default) from the dropdown list.
In the Input name field, select from the dropdown list the Input that you created using the sample TS file. e.g. SampleTSFileInput01 (The input is listed as follows "{Input Name} – File:/{file name}.ts").
In the Stream ID field, enter a unique name that will be used to identify this stream throughout the Zixi ecosystem. e.g. SampleTSStream01.
Make a note of the precise Stream ID (case sensitive) that you assigned. You will enter this Stream ID when you configure the Broadcaster to receive this stream in Step 4.
In the Host field, enter the hostname or IP address of your Zixi Broadcaster.
Verify that the Port field is set as 2088 (default) and that the IP field is set as Any (default).
To learn about additional configuration options see Creating a Push to Broadcaster Output in the Zixi Feeder UG.
Click OK.
The “Output added” message appears on the top of the screen. The new Output is added to the Zixi Feeder and now appears in the list of streams available on the Outputs screen. The Output Status should currently be shown as Disconnected (red) because you haven't yet configured the Input on the Broadcaster. The Input Status should be Online (green).
