Client ID is a unique identifier for this unit. It is called the remote ID on the Broadcaster.
Session ID is the password for authentication to a Zixi Broadcaster. This is optional.
Latency is the time given for error correction. It is recommended that latency is set higher
than 3 x Round trip time.
FEC Enabled turns on or off Forward Error Correction. Note that FEC uses additional
bandwidth set by the Overhead.
FEC Content aware allocates the FEC packets based on content.
FEC Overhead is amount of FEC packets to use. This number is the percentage of your
overall bitrate. For example if set to 20%, then a 5Mb stream will use 6Mb of bandwidth as
1Mb will be used for FEC.
FEC Block is the maximum time given to the FEC to correct an issue. This should not be
higher than half of the Latency setting.
Zixi Receiver IP Statistics
Data Bitrate is the currently used IP rate, this can fluctuate depending on configuration
and environment.
Round trip time measures how long a packet takes to travel to the broadcaster or encoder
and back. This calculation is important when configuring latency and determining error
correction configurations for the application.
Total Packets are how many packets have been received since the IRD started receiving.
Jitter is the variation in the delay of received packets. Larger jitter values could indicate
network congestion and increases the likelihood of network issues being seen.
Packet Rate is the amount of network packets received per second.
Latency shows what the latency is set to for the service.
Out of Order shows how many packets have been received out of the sent order. This can
be caused by a high jitter or packets taking different routes through the network.
Overflow shows the number of packets lost due to buffer overflow.
Dropped shows how many packets have been lost since the receiver first locked to the
service.
Duplicates shows how many packets have been repeated.
Recovered Packets shows how many successful recoveries have occurred out of the total
54
