Log in to the web UI and go to Setting > Video > Encoder. Separate settings are available for Main Stream and Secondary Stream. Select your rate control mode: CBR (default), VBR, or AVBR. Enter your desired bitrate value: Main stream: 64kbps – 51200kbps (default 12000kbps) Secondary stream: 64kbps – 25600kbps (default 6000kbps) Click Save...

Listener Mode (local SRT service) Go to Setting > Streaming > LAN Stream. Locate the SRT Listener section. Configure port, Stream ID, passphrase, and key length. Enable the service — the device will listen for incoming SRT connections. Caller Mode (push to remote SRT server) Go to Setting > Streaming > WAN Stream. Click +...

Adjustable SRT parameters include: Port: Network port for SRT transmission (default 9000 for listener) Stream ID: Identifies the stream path (required for routing) Passphrase: Encryption password for secure transmission Key Length: Encryption strength (16/24/32 bytes) Latency: Buffer delay (200–1500ms) — increase for unstable networks ⚠️ Disable the SRT service before modifying settings; changes take effect...

Set up SRTMiniServer on your receiving computer/server. Configure SRT Listener mode on the server with your chosen port and Stream ID. On ZowieBox Pro, add a new WAN stream with SRT Caller mode. Enter the server’s IP address, port, and matching Stream ID. Enable the stream — ZowieBox Pro will connect to SRTMiniServer automatically.

In OBS, add a Media Source and input the SRT stream URL from ZowieBox Pro (Listener mode). Alternatively, set OBS to SRT Listener mode and configure ZowieBox Pro as SRT Caller to push to OBS. Match port, Stream ID, and passphrase settings on both sides. Adjust latency based on your network stability.

ZowieBox Pro encoding → vMix receiving Set ZowieBox Pro to SRT Listener mode In vMix, add an SRT input using the ZowieBox Pro SRT URL vMix encoding → ZowieBox Pro decoding Set vMix to push an SRT stream On ZowieBox Pro (Decoder mode), add an SRT WAN stream with Caller mode Enter vMix’s SRT server...

Log in to the web UI and go to Setting > Streaming > LAN Stream. The RTSP stream URLs for main and secondary streams are displayed on this page. Click the copy button next to the URL you need. RTSP is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. RTSP authentication can be enabled in the...

Yes. ZowieBox Pro supports three local/network storage options for recording: TF card slot USB 3.0 storage devices NAS network storage (CIFS protocol) ⚠️ Only one storage destination can be used for recording at a time.

Yes. In Encoder mode, you can simultaneously encode live streams (RTMP/SRT/NDI) and record video files to local storage. Both operations run independently without impacting each other, as long as your storage device meets the minimum speed requirement (20MB/s).

Ensure a TF card, USB drive, or NAS is connected and recognized. Go to Setting > Streaming > Record. Configure recording settings: file format (MP4/TS/MOV), file split mode (time/size/disabled), and file prefix. Click the Record button on the dashboard or preview page to start recording. Recorded files can be previewed, downloaded, or deleted in the...

Container formats: MP4 (default), TS, MOV Video codec: H.264 / H.265 (matches encoding settings) Audio codec: AAC Supported file systems: exFAT, FAT32, EXT4 💡 FAT32 has a 4GB maximum file size limit; use exFAT for long uninterrupted recordings.

Two methods available: Account login method: Select YouTube as service, log in directly, and go live. RTMP manual method: Enter YouTube’s RTMP server URL and stream key. Enhanced RTMP is supported for H.265 streaming to YouTube.

Go to Setting > Streaming > WAN Stream and click + Add. Select RTMP(S) protocol. Paste your Facebook Live RTMP server URL and stream key. Configure bitrate and resolution settings. Save and enable the stream to go live on Facebook.

Add a new WAN streaming task with RTMP(S) protocol. Enter the Twitch ingest server URL closest to your location. Paste your Twitch stream key. Set encoding bitrate (recommended 4000–6000kbps for 1080p60). Start streaming.

Add a new WAN stream. Choose RTMP(S) or SRT protocol based on your Wowza server configuration. Enter the Wowza server address, application name, and stream name. Configure authentication if required by your server. Save and start streaming.

Yes. ZowieBox Pro supports simultaneous streaming to multiple destinations: Up to 2 RTMP streams 1 SRT Caller stream 1 SRT Rendezvous stream Local RTSP/SRT services remain active Note: WAN streaming and NDI streaming cannot be enabled simultaneously due to bandwidth limitations.

Yes. You can create multiple separate WAN stream tasks, each with its own YouTube server/key configuration. Save them as presets and enable/disable as needed without retyping credentials.

Ensure stable network connectivity — use wired Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi for streaming. Enable NTP time synchronization on the device for accurate timestamping. If using SRT, slightly increase the latency buffer value. Verify the audio sample rate is set to 48kHz (default) for maximum compatibility. Check YouTube’s stream health dashboard for buffering issues.

Go to Setting > Video > OSD. Click Add Canvas and set the canvas size to match your encoding resolution. Click + Text to add custom text or timestamp: Customize font size, weight, color, stroke, and background Timestamp format is configurable (date first/time first, display format) Click + Image to upload a JPG/PNG overlay (max...

In the OSD menu, click the scoreboard button to add a scoreboard element. Customize font size, color, and display dimensions. Adjust scores in real time via the web UI during live events. Scoreboard updates take effect immediately on the live output stream.
