Step 5 – Creating a Pull Output on Zixi Broadcaster
Zixi Broadcaster can send Outputs to a variety of targets such as Zixi Receivers or Zixi enabled IRDs. The Outputs can be sent through “push” or “pull” interactions and can be delivered using a wide range of protocols. While configuring an Output in Broadcaster you can customize the stream configuration.
For this tutorial we will send a Pull Output from the Broadcaster to a Zixi Receiver using Zixi Protocol. In this case, the stream is available on the Broadcaster waiting for the Receiver to initiate the “Pull” of the stream. For this tutorial we will use the default settings.
The following procedure describes how to manually create a Pull Output on the Broadcaster. You can configure your Broadcaster to automatically allow Pull Outputs. Once this feature is enabled, when you create a "Pull Output" on your Receiver, the corresponding Pull Output is automatically created on the Broadcaster. To enable automatic Pull Outputs, see Authorization in the Zixi Broadcaster UG.
