Highlights
Zixi provides a universal gateway with universal interoperability, trust boundary, protocol conversion, PID mapping, and transcoding normalization, enabling simplified onboarding and support more channels and distributors, driving revenue, reducing TCO, and ensuring high reliability.
National TV distributors need to centralize content from thousands of stations and deliver high-quality (4K/HDR) normalized video via the cloud to cable operators and vMVPDs. Zixi provides scalable cloud-based management, stream normalization, and secure partner trust boundaries, ensuring reliable and cost-effective delivery which enables increased revenue from monetizable local content.
Dynamic Feed Switching: ESNI Integration into the Zixi Software Platform facilitates real-time switching between feeds based on pre-set conditions or manual triggers. For instance, during a live sports event, the Zixi can automatically switch to a backup feed or replace a primary feed with a localized version if needed.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay based on usage through a single dimension: Broadcaster Transport Traffic, measured in gigabytes (GB). Your cost scales with the volume of live video traffic that Broadcaster moves through your workflow. There are no fixed tiers or instance sizes to select. As your transport traffic grows, your billing rises proportionally with the GB processed. This usage-based model lets you deploy Broadcaster across cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments while paying only for the traffic you actually move.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one gigabyte of Broadcaster Transport Traffic for billing?
One gigabyte measures the volume of live video that Broadcaster moves through your workflow. This includes ingest, transport, conditioning, and delivery of streams over IP networks. Traffic across any supported protocol counts toward the same GB metric. Your billing reflects the total video data processed, not the number of channels or events.
Does my cost change if traffic volume rises or falls month to month?
Yes. Billing is usage-based, so your cost moves with the gigabytes Broadcaster processes each period. There are no fixed tiers or minimum instance sizes. When traffic drops, your bill drops proportionally. When traffic climbs, charges rise with the added GB. You pay only for the traffic you actually move.
Does the GB traffic charge cover the orchestration and control layer, or is that separate?
The Broadcaster Transport Traffic dimension bills the media processing engine that handles ingest, transport, conditioning, and delivery. The separate orchestration and observability layer, which configures and monitors Broadcaster deployments, is not part of this GB metric. For details on obtaining that control layer, contact the vendor.
