How to add a Zixi output in TVU Channel

TVU Channel makes it simple for anyone to take a channel to “Air” and output to a Zixi internet stream.

To add a Zixi output:

1. To add an output destination, click the Go Live button.
2. Click +Add to list possible output options, from social media to professional broadcast formats.
3. Choose the Zixi option.
4. Type in a descriptive Name for the output, such as “Output_via_Zixi”
5. Type in the IP Address of the destination receiver.
6. Type in a password if required.

7. Type in the correct Port number as required by the receiver’s configuration.
8. Type in a Stream ID to identify this Channel output to the receiver.
9. Set the video Resolution for this output. A higher resolution improves quality but increases network traffic.
10. Signal Delay or latency is an advanced setting, and we recommend you do not modify the default settings unless you have an in-depth knowledge of Signal Delay or latency.
11. Set the Bitrate for your output. The bitrate determines how much networking capacity you are dedicating to the output. A higher bitrate increases network traffic but improves quality.
12. Select an Audio output type.
13. Select a three-letter Language Code in the drop-down menu to identify the main language spoken/displayed in the feed.
14. Click the Save button to finish creating this new Zixi output destination. You can also click the Save and Go Live button to save it and immediately make this output active.

15. Move the slider to the right when your Zixi media displays in the output pop-up window to activate your new Zixi output destination.
16. To change the settings on this output, click on the three-dot icon (…) and click Settings. Change the settings as needed and Save your changes.
17. To deactivate this output destination, click the slider to the left. It will turn gray to indicate it is deactivated.
18. To delete this output destination, click the slider to the left to deactivate it. Then click on the three-dot icon (…) and select Delete.
