ZiXi enables quality

The ZiXi Video Transport Platform enables the maximum utilization of bandwidth, regardless of distance, jitter, or packet loss. With an average 97-99% utilization of available bandwidth, OTT content providers take advantage of ZiXi’s use of a video-aware transport that keeps latency low, selectively applies FEC to minimize perceivable errors, and recovers packets with the minimum overhead possible mathematically, resulting in the best possible video quality for viewers regardless of Internet conditions.

ZiXi supports interoperability

ZiXi supports interoperability with all popular OTT content formats, client players like iOS, MSFT, Droid, and Flash, as well as transport methods including MPEG Transport Stream, Apple HLS, Adobe RTMP, MP4 (HTML5) and the new standard for dynamic adaptive streaming, MPEG DASH. Moreover, the ZiXi Video Transport Platform improves the performance and the viewing experience for these standard players and content and transport formats due to the patented ZiXi transport solution for OTT.

Cost-Effectively Scale to Millions

Customers around the world have turned to ZiXi to deliver OTT content to millions of viewers without the need for CDN edge servers to store content. The ZiXi Video Transport Platform does not require the wide-scale distribution of VoD files in different formats stored in the edge, nor does it intrude into consumers’ PCs. With the ZiXi solution, the content can be saved in one format at the source, and transported with adaptive streaming at various bitrates over any distance to any client device with any player. It is at the client where ZiXi packages the video back to the transport format that the local player understands, whether it is an Apple, Google, Adobe, Microsoft, HTML5 or other player. In addition, the ZiXi solution (if desired) can improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of the CDN by only requiring one content format, simplifying and streamlining infrastructure and operations costs (less nodes, less edge servers, less content servers). Less CDN edge servers are required to stream the highest quality video to tens of millions of users.
