During IBC, Zixi is clearly intent on continuing on its stated mission of enabling broadcast quality live video delivery over any IP network.
For example, it is showcasing products that help to automate acquisition, source switching, and live video contribution, while also normalising and regionalising content for any audience.
New launches include zero latency frame thinning for smooth streaming over congested networks and time-addressable media store integration (TAMS) for rapid turnaround workflows, compliance, archiving, and collaboration.
Marc Aldrich, CEO of Zixi, said: “We’re a platform that allows you to deliver content over IP at scale and broadcast quality for the lowest possible price for all the elements involved.”
Building a partner ecosystem is an important focus area, with partners on its stand this year including Uplynk, Osprey Video and Videon.
“The requirements the customers are asking for is interoperability. How do you make my stuff work really effectively together? As things move to IP, that becomes increasingly important... the ability to be able to do that interoperability is something that Zixi is a big part of, for us to be the glue between some of those technologies,” Aldrich said.
