Broadcasting Video over Internet using Zixi Method
Zixi Broadcast HD Video Transmission over Public Internet and IP Networks http://vidovation.com/zixi-broadcast-…
Zixi is a software-based platform enabling reliable transmission of broadcast-quality HD video globally over unmanaged internet connections and private IP networks. Zixi patented technology uses advanced error correction techniques to manage jitter, packet-loss and latency to ensure error-free video transmission. It is available as appliance, standalone installable or SDK for any platform. The growing number of partners building Zixi into their platforms is extending the Zixi standard for IP delivery. Zixi allows for mobile, embedded and on-premise solutions, complemented with cloud-based service platform. Unlike other protocols, Zixi provides fixed and predictable latency that can be sub-second worldwide.
Zixi Value:
