Zixi, an Emmy-winning provider of broadcast-quality live video over IP, will exhibit at IBC 2025, (RAI Amsterdam, Sept. 12-15) at Stand 5.A85. The company will demonstrate “innovations that help content owners, broadcasters, sports leagues, service providers, and OTT platforms deliver live video with greater quality, security, flexibility, and cost efficiency.” 

Zixi will showcase solutions that address key challenges in live video workflows across three critical areas: 

• Contribute – Automating content acquisition, switching, and contribution.
• Process – Normalizing and regionalizing content for any audience.
• Deliver – Ensuring reliable IP distribution over satellite, fiber, and the internet at a lower cost.

The Zixi Platform supports a wide range of needs, including blackout restrictions, regionalized content delivery, multiple protocols, and diverse internet connectivity. By simplifying workflows and removing interoperability barriers, Zixi enables businesses to scale live video while reducing costs. 

Zixi will unveil several innovations designed to expand interoperability and streamline live video workflows: 

• Zero Latency Frame Thinning for smooth streaming over congested networks.
• Mobile application turning smartphones into Zixi-enabled cameras and encoders.
• Modernized UI for Zixi Broadcaster.

• TAMS (Time Addressable Media Store) integration for rapid turnaround workflows, compliance, archiving, and collaboration.
• SPTS (Single Program Transport Stream) Re-Multiplexing for regionalised delivery.

Zixi will also highlight its rebranded partner ecosystem, built on interoperability and co-innovation, with partners including: 

• Uplynk – Delivering IP-based streaming workflows that replace satellite and fiber with scalable, personalized distribution.
• Osprey Video – Offering professional-grade encoders and decoders that integrate with Zixi for reliable, low-latency IP video transport.
