--- title: Adding SRT Client Outputs slug: zixi-broadcaster-v18/adding-srt-client-outputs docTags: createdAt: 2024-12-26T15:04:55.107Z --- The SRT Client output can be pushed to an SRT-enabled device. SRT stands for ‘Secure Reliable Transport’ and is an open-source video transport protocol and technology stack. SRT uses secure streams and easy firewall traversal to optimize streaming performance and deliver high-quality video over even the most unreliable networks. **To Create an SRT Output:** ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem In the Zixi Broadcaster **Outputs** page, click **New Output**. The **New output** window is displayed. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Type in the unique identifier for this output in the **Output Name.** ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select an **Input Stream** to be made available on this output from the adjacent drop-down list. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see [Using the Matrix](docId\:KyKY08NFFT6yGIZiGnhQ5) ). Default: Selected. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select **SRT Client**. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/yloo8L9Y5DmjuuW_iCtAX-8gt0MWRPJlimGd8BTNNXT-20250422-133532.png) ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Specify the **Output parameters** (see Output Stream Parameters Table below). ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **OK**. The new SRT Output with its settings is created and now appears on the screen. ::: :::: ## Output Stream Parameters Table | **Parameter** | **Description** | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ***Output Parameters*** |
| | Host | The destination host for the SRT stream. | | Port | Specify the ports to which the stream will be pushed. | | Stream | Specify the Stream ID of the stream. | | Password | If you want the output stream to be **encrypted**, set a **Password. **The value should be between 10 to 80 characters. The password value serves as a passphrase and is used to generate a hash of the password. The passphrase serves both authentication and encryption purposes. It is is not the AES key itself, but an input to a key derivation process that generates a 128, 192, or 256-bit key length. See [Encrypting an SRT Output](docId\:friNDKW-M6-iB-jIpCz95) for more details. | | Latency | Specify the maximum latency of the stream in milliseconds. Default: 1000 | | Encryption Type | Select the encryption type that will be used. The final AES key length is established by combining the sender’s and the receiver’s key lengths during handshake. See [Encrypting an SRT Output](docId\:friNDKW-M6-iB-jIpCz95) for more details. | | Bind to IP | Select from the drop-down list the local IP address to be used for this Input, OR select **Any** to enable any IP to be used. | | Local Port | Optionally binds the connection to the specified local port. This may be useful if your firewall requires you to create a rule for a specific port or, in complicate scenarios, when you need to control your local ports. Aalid ports values: 1 - 65535 (although values 1-1024 are usually used for the operating system and not for applications). | | **Billing Codes** | Billing codes are used to identify and differentiate traffic on a Zixi Broadcaster for billing purposes. When a billing code is added to a Source or Target, Zixi can track the traffic on that Broadcaster input or output separately from other inputs and outputs on the same Broadcaster. Billing codes are created by Zixi personnel on the Zixi Customer Portal for a particular organization. | | Billing Code | Enter the billing code that corresponds to this stream. The relevant billing can be obtained from the organization that received the billing code from Zixi. | | Billing password | Enter the password that corresponds to this billing code. | | ***Enable Decryption*** | Select this checkbox to decrypt an encrypted stream. | | Decryption type | If the stream has been encrypted, you can decrypt through the output by selecting this checkbox and specifying the type of encryption that was used.
Select **Automatic** to decrypt a stream that has been encrypted using **Automatic** encryption.
Only if the stream has not been encrypted, select **None** (default).
**Important Notice: if the stream has been encrypted you must decrypt it in the output** | | Decryption key | If the decryption type includes a key, enter the key to decrypt the stream during output. |
