The following updates were pushed to ZEN Master on February 2, 2021.


Improvements



Support for Existing AWS MediaConnect Flows
Previously, existing MediaConnect Flows could be defined as a new Source in ZEN Master or
new MediaConnect Flows could be created in ZEN Master. Now, existing AWS MediaConnect
Flows can be imported into ZEN Master and will then be managed with ZEN Master. Note that
some MediaConnect specific features, such as Entitlements and VPC interfaces, are not
currently supported.


Support for AES Decryption on Zixi Sources



For Zixi Sources from devices that are not managed directly by ZEN Master and have AES
encryption enable, they can now be decrypted. These could be Push Sources of type “other” or
Pulls from an external Source. The same static key that was used to encrypt simply needs to be
entered when defining the Source. Zixi Sources that are managed by ZEN Master use DTLS
session-based encryption if enabled by the user when defining the Source.


Support for File Based Sources



A Source can now be created using a file that already exist on a Broadcaster. To create a file
based Source, a specific Broadcaster needs to be selected.
As usual with Broadcasters, the files need to be transport stream (.ts). The files are expected to
be in the Root folder as defined on the Broadcaster. The default Root folder is currently
/zixi/zixi\_broadcaster-centos7-transcoder/files for Broadcasters spun up with ZEN Master; this
may change with OS updates in the future. Manually created Broadcasters may have a
different Root folder and the Root folder on any Broadcaster can be changed by remotely
accessing the Broadcaster UI from ZEN Master.
Note, ZEN Master does not provide for uploading and managing files on the server hosting the
Broadcaster. Numerous web-based file managers and even SSH can be deployed for remote
file management on the server hosting the Broadcaster.
Included below are additional improvements in this ZEN Master release:
• Added “copy to clipboard” buttons
• Added report button to all major tables
