Broadcast-Quality HDTV: What Users Want Today

"Broadcast-Quality HDTV" means:

• The picture and sound quality are comparable to the HDTV signals provided by cable networks, Blu-Ray players and other Hi-Def and 3D sources, requiring anywhere from around 6 to 50 megabits per second of bandwidth. That's just for the content or video stream, and it doesn't include network overhead.
• The video starts up immediately, rather than requiring several seconds or even minutes to "prime the pump"; that is, no wait time from buffering.
• The video stream does not suffer any buffering or jitter commonly experienced by IPTV and OTT users, which can degrade or freeze images, or cause other problems that harm the user experience.

Traditional satellite, fiber, Optical Carrier level 3 (OC-3) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) solutions can support and deliver broadcast-quality HDTV. However, these solutions can be expensive. They can also be inflexible, not supporting connectivity from or to all desired locations, or not without deploying additional gear.

ZiXi delivers outstanding performance (only a split-second latency), superior reliability (near-zero packet loss) and the highest video quality (at the physical end-to-end bandwidth available and up to 1080p/60fps) all at the same time with no tradeoffs to delay, resolution and stutter. In spite of the varying and nondeterministic network conditions of the public Internet — where the amount of network errors, packet loss, jitter and out-of-order packets fluctuate every second — ZiXi's proven and patented technology dynamically resolves the issues in sub-millisecond response time to deliver pristine, uninterrupted and very low latency video.
