SATELLITE RATIONALIZATION
Broadcast over IP. Achieve higher uptimes with IP streaming.
THE BENEFITS
The Zixi Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP) provides a higher quality, cost-effective alternative to replace or augment satellite distribution. The SDVP makes it easy for media companies to deliver broadcast quality video over IP networks, securely, cost-effectively and at scale. As many content providers look to virtualize their infrastructure to broadcast over IP networks, they are increasingly turning to the SDVP to replace satellite delivery for all of their IP streaming needs.
Reasons to Augment Satellite and Broadcast Over IP Networks
Reduced Costs
For many content providers, the transition away from satellite delivery is driven by cost. Satellite and transponder time is very expensive with long-term commitments depending on where the signal is being sent. Zixi’s technology enables providers to save as much as 50% over traditional satellite delivery.
Improved Uptime
Our technology allows providers to achieve higher uptimes then satellite delivery. Clients can count on 99.999% or higher reliability when delivering video over IP networks depending upon the architecture.
Increased Visibility
Zixi’s ZEN Master control plane provides end-to-end visibility and enables media organizations to easily manage, orchestrate and monitor highly complex delivery workflows.
Future-Proof Solutions
Our agnostic technology enables organizations to future-proof their technology stack with solutions that can easily adapt to new formats, manage new delivery options and exploit new opportunities.
Customizable Technology
With support for SCTE markers and traditional features like closed captioning, Zixi enables media organizations to customize programming and ad insertion to take advantage of evolving markets and revenue opportunities.
From Satellite to IP
Case Study with Music Choice
As C-band spectrum is re-allocated to accommodate for 5G development, forward-thinking media companies are adopting IP networks as a more flexible and efficient alternative to satellite for live content delivery.
This case study describes how American television music provider Music Choice made the switch from satellite to primary distribution over IP using the SDVP and its flexible infrastructure to deliver broadcast quality video over IP networks securely, reliably and cost-effectively at scale.
