ZEC Adding Push Outputs

output streams can be pushed to one or more zixi broadcasters you can specify multiple destinations (broadcasters/zec (receivers)) by adding them in the links section you can also split a single stream using multiple links and then bond them into a single stream in target broadcaster using the bond links feature for each of these links, you can specify the max bitrate that can be used in addition, some links may be specified as backups the backup links will be used if the bandwidth across all the non backup links is not enough for the stream (i e if a non backup link is not available, it will not use the backup) only if the accumulated bandwidth of non backup links is not enough, then the broadcaster will stream to a backup link note the max bitrate parameter in a zixi push output is not enforced as a hard limit it is used as a guideline for transport, buffering, and pacing, but zixi does not actively throttle or drop packets to keep the stream below this value as a result, the actual bitrate may exceed the configured max bitrate, especially with variable bitrate content or bitrate bursts to create a push output in the zec outputs page, click +new output the new output window is displayed type in 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 docid\ skrtx3wdiaaoohem3 s r ) default selected select push specify the output parameters (see output stream parameters table below) if you want to remux the stream to cbr (used for professional irds) in order to avoid bandwidth waste or add null packets and adjust the stream clock (pcr) in order to make the stream cbr, select remultiplex/pad and configure the respective parameters (see output stream parameters table) you can decrypt an encrypted stream as it enters the zec to decrypt a stream, select the decrypt stream checkbox and fill in the parameters as describes in the output stream parameter table below for more information, see docid 9ngu36geigg56k4toivug if you want to enable the zec decoder to send audio back to the zec encoder, select the ifb/talkback checkbox click ok the new push output with its settings is created and now appears on the screen output stream parameters table parameter description output parameters links host the destination host for the push stream note additional failover destinations can be added by clicking the adjacent “ + ” button port specify the ports to listen on for push streams default 2088 ip specify the local ip of the nic that you will be using for this link bond links click this checkbox to split the stream into multiple links, which will be forwarded to a single broadcaster instance max bitrate (for bond links enabled) relevant for bond links option specify the max bitrate in kbps for the specific link backup (for bond links enabled) relevant for bond links option select this checkbox to define the link as a backup the backup will be used only if the accumulated bandwidth of the non backup links is not sufficient stream id specify the unique stream id that the remote broadcaster expects password optional specify a string to be used at the receiving broadcaster to authenticate that the pushing zec is allowed to push this stream max latency \[ms] specify the buffer size that zec will keep for error correction for example, 6000 milliseconds would ensure that the stream is protected for six seconds of errors in the network default 6000 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, zec will ignore the tls certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination 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
