broadcaster’s map range functionality corresponding matching pids are mapped consecutively from the provided starting pid number map range for pid mapping frame thinning support on zixi sources and targets advanced settings now include an option for frame thinning requires broadcaster v18 or greater frame thinning for zixi sources and targets fec and traffic shaping controls for zixi sources and targets advanced settings now include traffic shaping and max fec overhead parameters supported for push / pull sources push targets requires broadcaster v18 2 for pull, and 18 3 for push or greater fec and traffic shapingframe thinning for zixi sources and targets added option to show downstream sources/channels on source diagrams and details pages the next tier of objects can be toggled on/off for diagrams and are also shown in a new ‘downstream’ tab downstream objects on source diagrams additional improvements and changes aws mediaconnect thumbnails and information support to enable thumbnails, be sure to check ‘enable thumbnails’ in the mediaconnect flow channel configuration enable mediaconnect thumbnails once enabled, thumbnails will begin to update in the aws media source stream tab sample thumbnail for aws media sources note that the frequency of thumbnail updates is limited by the aws account api rate limits, and the scope of information available for display in the transport stream tree from aws is a subset of that of the standalone zixi broadcaster capability time zone selection updates allow resetting to local time allow setting datetime format to eu/us formats time zone selection new options transcoding profiles now list sources that use them sources using a transcoding profile updating dynamic pull targets now propagates to child targets a checkbox is added to the dynamic target configuration to dictate the behavior of edits to the parent on corresponding child targets for changes do not require a restart, such as tags or event profile, etc all existing child targets, as well as the parent dynamic target, will update to reflect the changes for changes requiring a restart all existing (including offline) child targets will be deleted active clients will automatically reconnect and acquire the new settings if unchecked, the parent dynamic target is updated, and only future child targets take the new configuration changes to dynamic pull targets propagate to child targets separated 608/708 closed captions monitoring 608 and 708 captions are now isolated and can be monitored and distinguished in the alert body monitor 608 and 708 captions separately added support for minimize latency for zixi sources added support for billing codes on public outputs on sources added hover over source details on active live events added new scte 35 to hls ad marker conversion controls added filters and more details to channel/target assignment dialogs updated event reports to download a simple list of events instead of trying to break
