Zixi will demonstrate features and functionality that enable content creators and distributors to effortlessly reach worldwide audiences leveraging the Zixi Enabled Network of more than 1000 media companies and 400 technology partners globally exchanging live video, creating an acceleration of new content acquisition, business models, and opportunities to reduce cost and generate revenue at IBC 2023, which will run from September 15-18, 2023.
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 kick off IBC 2023 as the title sponsor of the distinguished Devoncroft Summit, with SVP John Wastcoat and CEO Gordon Brooks speaking at the event bringing together global industry leaders to discuss the business of media at the Tuschinski Theatre, Amsterdam on September 14 at 12 PM.
CEO Gordon Brooks will also moderate a panel including Dave Travis Group Director of Content, Broadcast & Platforms at Sky and other industry leaders at the prestigious IBC Showcase Theatre on Sunday, Sept 17 from 10:30 AM to 11:15 AM to discuss best practices in IP delivery and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in broadcast delivery workflows.
In the booth, Zixi will feature its latest integration with the TAG Multiviewer where users can utilise 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 broadcast automation developments powered by advanced AI and ML analytics enabling features, such as Auto Incidents utilising 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 throughput, compute and efficiency improvements that enable workflow optimisation 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 organisations to maximise their resources, minimise 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 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 utilising the ZEN Master control plane will be demonstrated live in both the Zixi and AWS booth 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.
