ZiXi's superior live and on-demand Video Transport Platform resides at the source and destination of delivery; in ZiXi Feeder and Receiver™, as well as in the Internet or IP network (broadcast, distribution or network nodes), in ZiXi Broadcaster™. The ZiXi end-to-end solution dynamically adjusts and consistently optimizes the end-to-end experience of video reporting, collaborating, broadcasting and distribution. In addition, TV set-top boxes, PCs and mobile devices are also enabled as a destination of delivery with ZiXi Client™. Users experience no startup delay, no buffering or pauses, and no lowering of video resolution with a robust security of up to 256-bit AES encryption. Finally, real-time statistical monitoring and analyses, historical trend analysis, video network capacity planning and information for billing and operations management are available through information from ZiXi Data™.
ZiXi Feeder and Receiver, ZiXi Client (user display devices) and ZiXi Broadcaster (broadcaster) are based on ZiXi's patented video transport technology with the following capabilities:
