Whether deployed on-prem, in public/private cloud, or hybrid environments, Zixi Broadcaster empowers organizations to accelerate digital transformation with reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and higher operational flexibility.
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.

Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Broadcaster Transport Traffic | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
This contract bills on a single dimension: Broadcaster Transport Traffic, measured in Gbps. You commit to a set amount of transport throughput for the term, and your cost scales with the traffic volume you contract for. Broadcaster is the media processing engine that ingests, routes, conditions, and delivers live video over IP networks. You deploy it in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments with control over your own infrastructure. There are no separate tiers or add-on dimensions here — pricing rests entirely on the Gbps of transport traffic you reserve.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
It measures the throughput capacity for live video moving through Broadcaster. Broadcaster ingests, routes, conditions, and delivers video over IP networks. Your Gbps figure reflects the peak transport bandwidth you reserve for these streams, not the number of channels or events. More concurrent or higher-bitrate feeds require more Gbps.
This contract reserves a set Gbps of transport capacity for the term. Your cost is based on the throughput you commit to, not on moment-to-moment usage. Running fewer streams or having idle periods does not lower the contracted amount. Sustained traffic above your reserved Gbps would require a higher commitment.
Broadcaster runs on public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises, giving you control over your own infrastructure. Your Gbps commitment applies to the transport it processes across these environments. The pricing covers the media engine itself; the control and orchestration layer is a separate component and not part of this dimension.
