Destination Port: Destination port assigned to the IP or Hostname of the IP Output TTL (Time to Live): TTL is an upper bound on the time that an IP packet can exist in an IP network. The value is set by the sender of the packet, and reduced by every host on the route to packet’s final destination. If the Time to Live reaches zero before the packet arrives at its final destination, then the packet is discarded. The purpose of this field is to avoid an undeliverable packet from circulating on an IP network perpetually. The range is 1 to 255 and is incremented by 1. (Factory Default: "128"). DiffServ / DSCP: Configures the value of the differentiated services code point (DSCP) field in the IPv4 header for the video output stream. The format of this field is specified by IETF RFC2474, but actual values are specified by several related RFCs. The encoder does not support explicit congestion notification (ECN) which makes use of the lower 2 bits of this header field.

Zixi Output Settings When setting up the Zixi option version of the encoder, the user will first need to insert the License Key within the Admin Panel (see page 27). Once this is done, the Zixi Output sections for Stream 1 and 2 will show up as follows in the Encoder Tab: Encoding Screen, under the IP Output sections (See Figure 4h): To begin setting up the Zixi Outputs: Click on the plus (+) sign next to each Output section title (See Figure 4h) in order to expand the section. All settings may now be seen (See Figure 4i). To close the section again, simply click the minus (-) sign in the title. The following options can now be set for Zixi Output Stream 1 and Stream 2: Zixi Output (Stream 1) (See Figure 4j, next page) Enable Output: Options are Enable or Disable. Channel: Uniquely identifies a given stream on the port. Several streams can be “multiplexed” on the same UDP port. Password: Used to prevent unauthorized connections but does not encrypt the stream. The encoder's password MUST match the decoder's password. Note: An empty field is equivalent to no password. Max Latency: Used to set maximum allowed latency of the stream over the Zixi protocol. Units are in milliseconds and are numeric values ranging from 100 to 5000 in increments of 100. Default option is “Auto”. a) Setting Max Latency to a low value means more forward error correction (FEC) is needed to guarantee stream delivery. b) Setting Max Latency to a higher value allows the Zixi layer to use re-transmission instead of / in addition to FEC. NOTE: In general, higher latency yields lower CPU load on the encoder and less overhead on the data rate. Hostname/IP Address: User-defined IP address or host name. Port: The UDP port used for communicating from the encoder-to-broadcaster. Default port used by Zixi broadcasters is "2088". 58 59 Figure 4h - "Encoder" Tab - Encoding Zixi Output: Stream 1 & 2 (Closed) 58 60 61 62 63 64 65 Figure 4i - "Encoder" Tab - Encoding Zixi Output: Stream 1 & 2 (Open) 59 Encoder Tab Encoding (Zixi) :
