Adding a Zixi-Other MediaConnect Source

you can configure an input from a zixi enabled device (i e a zixi enabled encoder) to be used as a source in zen master in this case, the zixi enabled device is referred to as the origin other which streams to the ingest cluster the origin other is not managed by zen master however, since zen master is connected to aws mediaconnect it is possible to start/stop the stream from zen master to create a zixi other mediaconnect source in the main navigation, click sources click + add the create new source window is displayed create new source window under aws media , click on aws mediaconnect the create new aws media source window opens in the info section, in the name field, type a logical name for the source in the tags field, select one or more of the predefined tags from the drop down list tags are used for access control by selecting a tag, you are relating this source to that tag tags are associated with certain roles (through the users & roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups if you would like to create a new tag, see creating a tag docid\ ypm9tw81ap6nq8stkv4rd in the events configuration profile field, select from the dropdown list the profile that you would like to apply to this source by default, the default profile is applied events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger in the input section, under protocol , select the zixi radio button in the application section, select other in the max bitrate field, enter the maximum bitrate to be used on this nic in the latency \[ms] field, select the latency time for the stream (default 4000) you are required by mediaconnect to enter a valid whitelist cidr block the whitelist cidr block is a range of ip addresses that should be allowed to contribute content to your source these ip addresses must be in the form of a classless inter domain routing block for example, 10 0 0 0/16 through source needs to be in the range covered by this cidr block any ip address with this range is allowed to send content to this flow in the initial state section, select the muted checkbox if you would like to disable error/recovery notifications for this source upon initial configuration you can unmute the source at any time click save parameters table parameter description info name specify a name for the aws media source in zen master tags select one or more of the predefined tags from the drop down list tags are used for access control by selecting an tag, you are relating this source to that tag tags are associated with certain roles (through the users & roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups if you would like to create a new tag, see creating a tag docid\ ypm9tw81ap6nq8stkv4rd events configuration profile select from the dropdown list the profile that you would like to apply to this source by default, the default profile is applied note events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger input protocol to create a zixi input aws media source, verify that zixi is selected (default) application select other this zixi feeder is not managed by zen master max bitrate select from the drop down list the maximum bitrate for this source make sure that the value is greater than the max bitrate for the input the default is set automatically based on the current bitrate of the input latency \[ms] specify the latency time for the stream (default 4000) source configuration whitelist cidr block specify the cidr for the range of ips that you would like to allow to contribute content to this source you are required by mediaconnect to enter a valid whitelist cidr block initial state muted select this checkbox if you would like to disable error/recovery notifications for this source upon initial configuration
