The Zixi Software-Defined Video Platform consists of a tight integration of four crucial elements. First are the protocols, including the time tested Zixi protocol which has been in mission critical use for over a decade, as well as newer protocols such as RIST and SRT and common industry protocols such as RTP, RTMP, HLS, and DASH. In total Zixi supports 17 different protocols and containers – the only software platform designed for live video to do so. Second is the Zixi Video Solutions Stack, which is the software that manages all the protocols and collects analytics and layers intelligence on top of the protocols such as bonding and hitless failover. Third is the ZEN Master control plane that allows users to intelligently provision, deploy, manage, and monitor thousands of content channels across the Zixi Enabled Network.
The fourth element is the Zixi Intelligent Data Platform, which brings together cutting-edge data analytics tools with prescriptive solutions to help stay ahead of issues before they become serious complications. The IDP provides users dashboard views of their infrastructure and stays atop the health of crucial components within a given system, learning and improving the experience continuously for both the back-of-house developers/engineers as well as end-users.
