Once you have configured an Input on the ZEC/Broadcaster, you can create an Output to send the Source to your Zixi Broadcaster/ZEC. 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). To use ZEC your Input has to be either Zixi push/pull OR your Output has to be Zixi push/pull. You can then select any format for the opposite input or output.

*For this tutorial we will create a "Push to Broadcaster" Output, which uses Zixi Protocol to push the Source to your Broadcaster.*

### To create a "Push to Broadcaster" Output on the ZEC/Broadcaster:

:::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the ZEC/Broadcaster UI, in the Main Navigation, Click **Outputs**.
The Outputs page opens.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
On the **Outputs** page, click the **+New Output** button in the Menu bar.

The **New Output** window is displayed:

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/mzxtTQEvCNIdUNgF2kuwJ/qFfOIKU9ns3R_uYLdKUI0_image.png" size="40" width="652" height="792" position="center" showCaption="false"}
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Output Name** field, enter a unique name to refer to this Output on the ZEC/Broadcaster, e.g. *SampleFeederOutput01*.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Type** section, select **Push **radio selection button.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Input Stream **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").
:::

::::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Stream ID** field, enter a unique name that will be used to identify this stream throughout the Zixi ecosystem. e.g. *SampleTSStream01.*

*If you are sending this stream to ZEN Master - the configuration details, including the ****Stream ID****,**** Host ****and ****Port****, will be provided once you create a new source in ZEN Master.*

:::hint{type="info"}
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*.
:::
::::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Host** field, enter the **hostname** or **IP address** of your Zixi Broadcaster.
:::

::::WorkflowBlockItem
Verify that the **Port** field is set as 2088 (default for push) and that the **IP** field is set as *Any* (default).

:::hint{type="info"}
To learn about additional configuration options see [Adding Push Outputs](docId\:nsqD917A5wh-XgGSccsrd) in the Zixi User Guide.
:::
::::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **OK**.

The “Output added” message appears on the top of the screen.
The new Output is added to the ZEC/Broadcaster and now appears in the list of streams available on the Outputs screen. The **Status** should be *Connected* (green).
