Zixi Broadcaster and ZEC can output streams to various types of targets. The stream can be sent as unicast or multicast. It can also be stored as a file or transmitted as an IP-MPEG-TS stream. You can include multiple sources in your Output for high-availability.

*For this tutorial we will send the stream to another Broadcaster/ZEC.*

**To Create a UDP Output on Broadcaster/ZEC:**

:::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the Zixi Broadcaster/ZEC 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.

:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the Input type section, verify that **UDP** is selected (default).
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Name** field, enter a unique name to refer to this Output, e.g. *SampleTSFile/UDPOutput01*.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Input Stream** field, select from the dropdown list the Input that you created to pull the stream from the Broadcaster.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Host** field, enter the hostname or IP of the Broadcaster/ZEC you want to send the UDP stream to.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Port** field, enter the port on your IRD that will receive the stream.
:::

::::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **NIC** field, verify that *Any* is selected (default).

::::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **OK**.

The new Output is added to the Zixi Receiver and now appears on the **Outputs **screen. The status indicators for the Output should be green (Connected).

Congratulations! You have successfully sent the stream from your TS file through the Zixi system and delivered it to another Broadcaster/ZEC. The following sections explain how to start and stop your stream and how to view the content of the stream.
