In this mode, instead of specifying a file location on the server’s hard disk, the Zixi Broadcaster receives an HTTP address from which it will retrieve the file and then transfer it to the Client. | | **Upload** | Enables the file transfer upload to this Zixi Broadcaster server. | | **Scan on startup** | Enables indexing of the files in the VOD folder that have not been indexed during the Zixi Broadcaster startup. | | **HLS Indexing** | Enables indexing of HLS streams. The indexing creates an M3U8 playlist file. | | **MPEG-DASH Indexing** | Enables indexing of MPEG-DASH streams. | | **Encrypt Downloads** | Enables the Zixi auto encryption for all file transfer downloads. | | **HTTP/Origin cache size \[MB]** | This setting is relevant for HTTP acceleration mode and/or Origin/Edge architecture, where the Zixi Broadcaster retrieves the file from another Origin or HTTP server and then delivers it to the Client. This setting determines the cache size allocation on the Zixi Broadcaster. The cache is used to accelerate the delivery of files that have been previously requested. | | **Initial bitrate \[kbps]** | Specifies the initial download bitrate. The recommended bitrate can be the bitrate of the stream. | | **Max download speed \[kbps]** | Specifies the maximal download speed in Kbps for file transfer. | | **Max upload speed \[kbps]** | Specifies the maximal upload speed in Kbps for file transfer. |
