Adding RTMP and RTMPS Outputs

real time messaging protocol streams can be played on systems that accept this protocol as input originally designed to enable adobe® flash® streams to be sent between a server and a client, rtmp has become a popular protocol for streaming into content delivery networks (cdns) facebook currently uses rtmps, which is rtmp over a tls/ssl connection to create an rtmps output, select the rtmp output option, but make sure rtmps // is used in the url field scte 35 markers in mpeg ts streams trigger oncuepoint call function in rtmp to create an rtmp output in the zixi broadcaster outputs page, click + new output the new output window is displayed new rmtp 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 rtmp specify the output parameters (see output stream parameters table docid 57f 3q0cgpbp6 gqhaxq 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 57f 3q0cgpbp6 gqhaxq below) click ok output stream parameters table parameter description output parameters url specify the destination stream url according to the following format rtmp\ //host \[port]/app you can define rtmps clients with the proven security of a secure socket layer (ssl) by using the rtmps\ // url note that facebook currently supports rtmps streams only backup url specify a backup url (fallback mode) – will be used in case the primary server is not responsive stream name specify the unique name for the stream that the rtmp server at the other end of the connection expects username specify the username to authenticate on the remote rtmp server password specify the string that is used for authorization on the remote rtmp server bitrate (kbps) specify the actual bitrate in kbps or the maximum stream bitrate in case of a vbr stream reconnect (sec) if the stream drops, this value represents the time between reconnection attempts (in seconds) default 5 send timecode converts the mpeg ts sei section to rtmp onfi command (pass the encoder timecodes to the rtmp server) disconnect if inactive select this checkbox to disconnect if the stream is not active for 30 seconds ignore tls certificate errors select this option when streaming to a trusted server that does not have a valid certificate when this option is selected, zixi broadcaster will ignore the tls certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination 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 enable decryption of an encrypted stream decryption type if the stream has been encrypted, you can decrypt it 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 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 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 dejitter input 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
