Adding Pull Outputs

to create a pull output in the zixi broadcaster outputs page, click + new output the new output window is displayed new zixi pull output type the unique identifier for this output in the output name select an input stream to be made available on this output from the drop down list select the show in matrix check box to display this stream in the matrix (see using the matrix docid\ bp6mo9f2qbxmu6gurkog4 ) default selected select the log this stream checkbox if you would like to generate event logs for this output select pull specify the output parameters (see output stream parameters table docid\ smayhagfypo7wtx wnjag below) if you want to specify billing codes to identify and differentiate traffic on a zixi broadcaster for billing purposes, select this checkbox ( see output stream parameters table docid\ smayhagfypo7wtx wnjag below) you can encrypt the stream as it enters zixi broadcaster to encrypt the stream, select the enable encryption checkbox and fill in the parameters as described in the output stream parameters table docid\ smayhagfypo7wtx wnjag below click ok the new pull output with its settings is created and now appears on the screen output stream parameters table parameter description output parameters stream id specify the unique stream id that the remote zixi receiver/broadcaster expects (recommended – identical to ‘input stream’) remote id specify the zixi receiver id (shown in the zixi receiver/broadcaster status window) that will be allowed to pull the stream password specify a string that can be used to authenticate that the zixi receiver is authorized to pull this stream (optional) latency \[ms] specify the buffer size that zixi broadcaster will be able to maintain for error correction for example, 6000 milliseconds would ensure that the stream is protected for six seconds of errors in the network default remote configuration b remote configuration – use the latency configured in the zixi receiver/broadcaster otherwise, use a value to override the value configured in the zixi receiver/broadcaster stream thinning on congestion gracefully reduces output frame rate for video transported by zixi protocol, under constrained network conditions without adding latency, preserving audio and key frames to keep streams continuous through congestion and failover 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 encryption select this checkbox to encrypt the output stream encryption type (for encryption enabled) specify the type of encryption (aes 128/192/256) click generate to generate an encryption key or enter another encryption key advanced mode the fields discussed below are optional and available only in advanced mode to enter advanced mode add the url parameter ?advanced=1 to the zixi broadcaster url in your browser and press enter/return to reload the page note the advanced mode settings are generally intended for advanced users and special cases if you do not understand the settings, you should probably accept the default values advanced mode setting general latency offset \[ms] specify the additional buffering time in milliseconds increasing this value can improve stream stability in unstable network conditions, but will increase end to end delay default 0 ms output parameters override authorization plugin when enabled (default), the pull output authenticates using its configured session id instead of the external authorization plugin when disabled, every pull connection is verified through the authorization plugin (zen master) before being allowed stats history select this checkbox to record stream statistics stream thinner latency \[ms] specify additional latency you can tolerate to allow frame thinning to work optimally default is 0 ms alerts low bitrate threshold \[kbps] specify a bitrate at which an alert will created for low bitrate low bitrate duration \[sec] specify number of seconds for continuous low bitrates (the threshold defined above) before generating an alert disconnect on low bitrate whether to disconnect the stream when the bitrate falls below the threshold for the low bitrate duration defined above enable ifb/talkback port specify the port to listen on this port must be open on all firewalls between the zixi broadcaster and other devices it is communicating with the error recovery techniques implemented in the zixi protocol pull streams are protected under u s patent 11,546,615
