Through the integration of Zixi Feeder into Videon’s LiveEdge® Ecosystem, broadcast and streaming operators are granted a more simplified and efficient workflow. Here, we delve into the benefits of the integration and provide a guide on setting it up.
Based on Videon's recent 9.5 update, the integration with Zixi Feeder has been natively implemented to allow users to easily output content into the Zixi ecosystem, enabling a streamlined streaming process and a workflow that spells efficiency.
Here we explore the benefits that this integration brings to the table:
Using Zixi is very similar to the other streaming outputs on Videon devices. For the most part, all that is needed is a properly constructed destination URL. Zixi has a couple additional options, which are explained below.
Navigate to Encoder Control > Outputs >Zixi 1, 2, or 3
Enter the URL of the receiving end and a port. The default port is set to 2088. The URL may be an IP address and port combination or a host name, depending if the ingest is a Point-to-Point decoder or an online streaming platform.
Enter the Stream ID if applicable. Some servers that accept Zixi require Stream IDs to be used in order to ingest multiple Zixi streams at the same port.
Set the Max Latency value.
Set the FEC Percentage (Forward Error Correction) value.
(Optional) Set the passphrase.
(Optional) Set the encryption key and key size.
The following pop-up will then display:
Once everything is set, enable Zixi, select Save, and check if it is being received by the other end of the workflow!
