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.

Zixi provides an efficient and cost-effective alternative to satellite contribution. Transitioning off of satellite for live video delivery can be a daunting task, with many elements to coordinate across operational, engineering and administrative teams. Contribution with Zixi over IP or hybrid IP networks is simple and offers a seamless migration from traditional pathways for delivery. As a software-solution, broadcasters can instantly spin up a Zixi contribution workflow without extensive coordination between multiple parties. To send live video with Zixi, simply provide a host name and an IP address to send the content.

Zixi makes it easy to deliver content to a variety of endpoints across a range of geographies. The SDVP gives content providers the flexibility to send live video to multiple endpoints through one comprehensive platform, with the added benefit of capturing data from every endpoint where the content is delivered to confirm that it ran as intended. Expand or remove endpoints at any time with the click of a button, and to add an instance for a live event you can spin up and down Zixi instances for content delivery as needed. Zixi allows users to easily activate additional delivery targets anywhere in the world without the need to navigate different geographical satellite providers and fiber lines, making it easy to add new markets to your distribution at a lower cost.
