How
to
setup
a
Zixi
IP
stream
on
the
Adtec
Encoders
The
Zixi
technology
can
be
used
to
enhance
the
stability
of
an
IP
stream
when
the
network
is
not
in
a
controlled
environment.
The
use
of
FEC
and
latency
allows
the
receiver
to
request
any
missing
packets
and
the
encoder
to
resend
as
needed.
1.
Verify
that
the
ZIXI-TX
feature
key
is
enabled
on
the
Features
tab
under
Upgrade.
If
key
is
disabled,
please
contact
your
sales
person
at
to
purchase
the
key.
2.
Once
the
key
is
enabled
proceed
to
the
IP
Transport
tab
under
Services.
3.
Set
the
IP
Tx
Mode
to
Zixi
Feeder.
4.
Next
input
either
the
IP
address
of
the
Zixi
Receiver
or
the
Zixi
Broadcaster
into
the
Multicast
IPA
box.
Along
with
the
port
in
the
Multicast
Port
Box.
The
default
Port
is
2088.
5.
Select
the
correct
Multicast
Connector,
IP1
or
IP2.
6.
Under
Zixi
Parameters,
input
a
Stream
Name
and
Latency.
If
needed
also
input
a
Password
and
adjust
FEC
settings.
7.
Finally,
set
the
Multicast
Mode
to
SEND
and
click
Apply.
Notes:
-Please
refer
to

help
blurbs
for
more
detailed
information.
-Bitrates
and
latencies
are
dependent
on
available
bandwidth
and
stability
of
the
network.
A
higher
latency
is
recommended
for
unstable
networks.
-To
turn
off
FEC
set
the
Overhead
and
Block
to
0.
This
will
drop
all
FEC
packets.
Testing
will
need
to
occur
to
see
if
FEC
is
needed
for
the
network
being
used.
Not
using
FEC
packets
will
allow
a
higher
overall
bitrate,
but
could
lead
to
less
stability
depending
on
Latency
used.
