Zixi To Feature Dramatic Efficiency Enhancements And Industry Lowest TCO At IBC 2023

Zixi will demonstrate features and functionality that enable content creators and distributors to effortlessly reach worldwide audiences leveraging the Zixi Enabled Network of over 1000 media companies and 400 technology partners globally exchanging live video, creating powerful acceleration of new content acquisition, business models, and opportunities to reduce cost and generate revenue.

The Zixi team will be present at the convention to allow attendees to interact with subject matter experts, integrated partners and leading global media companies using the SDVP to solve today’s problems while preparing for challenges ahead. Visitors will have the opportunity to discuss their workflows and primary Zixi solution sets including the D2C Gateway, the use of the ZEN Master control plane for advanced monitoring of AWS MediaConnect, satellite replacement deployments, the delivery of 1000s of streams from regional affiliates to disparate vMPVDs, as well as complex 5G deployments and FAST channel distribution.

Zixi will feature its latest integration with the TAG Multiviewer where users can utilize a single control plane ZEN Master to feed sources into the TAG MV layouts and send those mosaics to desired targets enabling unified control and simplifying operations. Additionally, as part of the Intelligent Data Platform (IDP), Zixi will demonstrate groundbreaking broadcast automation developments powered by advanced AI and ML analytics enabling features, such as Auto Incidents utilizing Multi-Object-Correlation-Analysis (MOCA) that cuts through the noise and quickly performs root cause analysis (RCA) for the quick resolution of issues in minutes instead of days or weeks.

Zixi will also exhibit new capabilities of the SDVP including ultra-low latency with unparalleled throughput, compute and efficiency improvements that enable workflow optimization and significant cost savings. As a part of the exhibition Zixi will demonstrate the scale and efficiency of Zixi Broadcaster v17 with improved processing capacity requiring 80% less compute all while reducing egress cost by up to 50%, compared to other industry solutions, empowering organizations to maximize their resources, minimize expenses and deliver high-quality video content reliably. The ability to run on ARM Processers, including AWS Graviton 2/3, which are 50% of the cost and energy consumption of Linux will also be on display, with the profound impact on the TCO of video streaming implementations. The superior efficiency eliminates the need for excessive virtual machines, leading to reduced infrastructure requirements and substantial cost savings.

Zixi’s deep partnership with AWS will also be highlighted including integration of SDVP in AWS Wavelength Zones, allowing customers to leverage the power of 5G and enable widescale adoption of low latency 5G MEC architecture. The orchestration and monitoring of AWS Elemental MediaConnect and MediaLive channels utilizing the ZEN Master control plane will be demonstrated live in both the Zixi and AWS booth, Hall 5, C.90 at the show.

Long available in the AWS Marketplace, the Zixi Broadcaster and ZEN Master are also now available in the Azure Marketplace and GCP Marketplace for public and private sales, expanding the flexibility of Zixi in public cloud infrastructures.
