Unlock Seamless Broadcast & Live IP Video Workflows

Deliver unmatched quality, reliability, and security at the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Zixi | Live Video Distribution Over IP

The control layer for live video over IP.

Zixi orchestrates, monitors and controls live video across any protocol, cloud and network, so you stay on air and run more channels and events with predictable cost.

Built for the realities of live video over IP

Reliability, interoperability, control, observability and efficiency, built into one software platform.

Reliability

Deterministic behavior across non-deterministic networks.

Patented hitless failover Multi-path redundancy Up to 40% packet loss recovery Congestion-aware ARQ/FEC
Read more+

Patented hitless failover and multi-path bonding maintain uninterrupted delivery across unpredictable networks. Recover from up to 40% packet loss with adaptive FEC/ARQ and congestion-aware retransmission.

Proven in live sports, 24/7 linear channels and satellite-to-IP transitions, where off air means lost revenue.

Interoperability

Multi-protocol, multi-vendor, multi-cloud by design.

Any protocol, any endpoint TAMS compliant Hybrid cloud + on-prem Embedded in partner encoders & IRDs
Read more+

SRT, RIST, RTMP, HLS, RTP/UDP, WebRTC and the Zixi Protocol: ingest and deliver over whichever standard each partner needs. Today, 44% of the traffic on Zixi runs on protocols other than our own.

Zixi is embedded in partner encoders, IRDs and services, and works alongside the cloud providers and production tools you already use, so you can add partners and change architecture without lock-in.

Control and Observability

See the whole workflow and enforce the rules that protect your revenue.

ESNI / POIS / ESAM Blackout enforcement & content switching TR-101, CQA & SCTE-35 monitoring Real-time alerting & analytics history
Read more+

ZEN Master orchestrates, monitors and controls live workflows with standards-based SCTE signaling, dynamic switching, and blackout and rights enforcement. Programmers and rights holders can package, regionalize and monetize more content without a separate workflow for each market.

One view covers transport, content quality and SCTE activity, down to the compute and network beneath the video. TR-101, CQA and real-time alerting catch issues before they reach viewers.

Efficiency

More live video with the teams and budget you have.

Up to 3x lower compute & bandwidth cost Stream-level processing Per channel, per GB or per event pricing Self-managed, partner or Zixi-managed
Read more+

DPDK optimization and null packet compression cut the compute and bandwidth each channel needs, for up to 3x lower cost. Processing runs inside the same platform, so there are fewer boxes and fewer handoffs to manage.

Predictable pricing that follows the operation: per channel, per GB or per event. Run Zixi yourself, through a partner, or on Zixi Managed Cloud Infrastructure, on the same software.

One platform from venue to viewer

Whether you’re bringing feeds in from remote venues, normalizing streams from many providers or replacing satellite distribution, the same platform runs the workflow.

Contribution
Bring feeds in from venues and remote sites over unpredictable networks, with primary and backup paths.
Processing & Normalization
Transcode, normalize and condition streams from many providers into consistent output for each destination.
Distribution
Deliver to affiliates, vMVPDs and partners, including satellite replacement, with rights enforced in the workflow.

Built for the organizations that can’t afford for live video to fail

From national broadcasters and programmers to sports leagues and streaming platforms, delivered direct or through our partners.

Broadcasters

National and regional networks replacing satellite and fiber and scaling IP distribution

Programmers & Cable Networks

Channel owners distributing to affiliates and platforms and monetizing more content

Sports & Rights Owners

Leagues, federations and rights holders moving live events from venue to viewer

Streaming Platforms & vMVPDs

Platforms ingesting, normalizing and distributing live linear at scale

“Live sports cannot fail. We need full visibility across every link in the transmission chain.”
