Zixi To Demonstrate Up To 50% Cost Savings For At-Scale IP Delivery At IBC 2024

Zixi will showcase features and functionalities that allow broadcasters, OTT providers, sports leagues, regional sports networks and local affiliates to effortlessly reach global audiences by leveraging the Zixi Enabled Network, which includes over 1,400 media companies and 400 technology partners worldwide.

In the current environment of organizational cost-cutting and the drive for global corporate profitability, this global network facilitates the exchange of live video, accelerating new content acquisition, enabling innovative business models, and creating opportunities to reduce costs and generate revenue.

In the booth, Zixi will highlight its latest developments including:

  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis of large-scale IP delivery applications, compared to other industry alternatives, taking into account the latest efficiency developments in compute and bandwidth requirements of the Zixi protocol and the SDVP.
  • Market Switching, allows content distributors to switch content based on ESAM/ESNI for regionalization of content or blackouts enabling traditional workflows in IP workflows.
  • High-Performance Networking leverages DPDK to achieve significant throughput efficiency improvements while utilizing only a fraction of the processing power.
  • DPDK-based security to protect against ransomware loopholes and OS as a soft target by bypassing the kernel or operating system layer, enabling secure segmentation of DMZ and private network management.
  • Dynamic Latency for the optimization of live IP video based on real-time network conditions for ultra-low latency transport and enhanced user experience.
  • Error Concealment replaces video frames containing errors with skip frames while keeping audio in sync. This helps overcome situations where unrecoverable packet loss on input streams corrupts video frames.
  • Timeline Normalization repairs timelines in the transport stream introduced by upstream encoding and processing that may not have clean timelines. This feature helps sensitive to timeline issue IRDs dramatically improving stream ingest.
  • Smooth Live Midroll Insertion makes it possible to insert an advertisement or a fixed length slate or blackout directly into the live stream output.
  • Dynamic HTML Overlays will be showcased, demonstrating how it enables the transition to the cloud seamless without the need for additional on-premises hardware for these processes.

An exciting and diverse set of Zixi Enabled Network ecosystem partners will be demonstrating their Zixi integrated offerings in the Partner Village:
