Zixi enhances live streaming for Visaic Interactive Platform
WALTHAM, MA [Oct 10, 2023] — Zixi, the industry leader for enabling cost-efficient and highly
scalable live broadcast-quality video over any IP network or protocol and provider of the award-
winning Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP®), today announced that Visaic has integrated
Zixi’s award winning technology into the Visaic Interactive Platform(VIP).
VIP is a SaaS based product that is designed for sports leagues, federations, teams and college
conferences as well as entertainment brands that want to expand viewership and increase
revenue.
VIP provides sports brands with modern and interactive user experiences on any device along
with hybrid monetization options and AI based tools to grow their brand value and revenue
streams. Central to VIP is an AI-powered monetization intelligence engine that provides the
ability for organizations to drive engagement decisions, marketing decisions and tools to convert
casual fans into passionate followers.
VIP enables live streaming at scale and reaches fans wherever they are: Web, Social , FAST
platforms, and Theaters.
The Zixi SDVP enables VIP to deliver flawless quality along with advanced features such as Live
DVR, Game stats, Live clipping, Highlights and Game downloads. Zixi’s superior efficiency
eliminates the need for excessive virtual machines, leading to reduced infrastructure
requirements and substantial cost savings.
By significantly cutting infrastructure costs, Visaic can help Sports media organizations to create
new business models and opportunities to generate revenue. Visaic utilizes key components of
the SDVP to transport broadcast quality, ultra-low latency live video over any IP network
Also critical to the Visaic Interactive Platform are the Zixi ZEN Master control plane’s capability to
orchestrate live events with alerts and alarms that support automating live event monitoring at
scale.
The Zixi Broadcaster delivers high transcode quality of transcode quality, hitless failover, and
high reliability at scale with ultra-low latency error free transport and transcoding. Zixi
dramatically improves processing capacity, requiring 95% less compute as well as helping
reduce transport stream egress cost by up to 50% allowing organizations to maximize their
resources, minimize expenses and deliver broadcast-quality video content reliably with the result
being the lowest total cost of ownership of live video streaming implementations.
The Zixi protocol delivers error-free video, compresses null packets, typical in broadcast streams,
and is also video aware removing repetitive packets resulting in 30% to 50% lower bandwidth
requirements on the network.
“Zixi’s dyanamic set of APIs and transcoding ability enables live streaming across multiple
devices at the highest quality,” said Abhishek Shivadas, Co-Founder & CTO at Visaic. “The
integrated offering allows us to quickly onboard new brands and deploy VIP to sports lovers all
around the world.”
