- **Zixi (Push)** – ZEC or Zixi Broadcaster pushes the stream to the Zixi Broadcaster. Since both ZEC and the Zixi Broadcaster use the Zixi protocol, the stream is protected by the Zixi protocol.
- **Another Zixi Broadcaster** **(Pull) **– the Zixi Broadcaster can pull a stream from another Zixi Broadcaster. Since both components use the Zixi protocol, the stream can be protected by the Zixi protocol. 
- **UDP streams** – the source is a UDP or RTP stream, RTP + SMPTE 2022 FEC, and RIST, all over unicast or multicast. 
- **RTMP streams** – The source is an RTMP stream, pushed into the Zixi Broadcaster or pulled by it. 
- **RTSP** – The source is an RTSP stream, pushed into the Zixi Broadcaster, or pulled by it.
- **HLS –** The source is an HLS stream that is pulled by the Zixi Broadcaster.
- **HTTP Pull/Push** **(TS over HTTP)** - The source is a Transport Stream over HTTP, which is pushed into Zixi Broadcaster or pulled by it.
- **SRT Caller/Push**– The source is an SRT client that pushes the stream into Zixi Broadcaster. The connection is initiated by the source SRT client.
- **SRT Listener/Pull **- The source includes an SRT stream that is pulled by Zixi Broadcaster. The connection is initiated by Zixi Broadcaster.
- **RIST **– The source is a RIST stream using Simple or Main Profile over unicast or multicast.
- **NDI** – The source is an NDI stream that is pulled into Zixi Broadcaster using the auto-discovery mechanism.
- **WebRTC **– The source is a webcam and microphone from a web browser. Contact Zixi support for more information on configuration.
- **File over HTTP **– The source is a file on an HTTP server (e.g., S3) that is copied to a temporary location on the local computer.
- **Multiplex** – Takes multiple Single Program Transport Streams and combines them into one Multi Program Transport Stream file.
- **Local files** – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network.
- **Delayed** – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network, and is delayed according to the specified duration.
