NAB 2023: Zixi to showcase SDVP solutions

Zixi will be demonstrating a broad range of product updates and live video delivery performance running over the Zixi Enabled Network at this year’s NAB.

As part of the exhibition, Zixi will be exhibiting new and existing capabilities of the Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP), including the scale and efficiency of Zixi Broadcaster v17 with improved processing capacity. V17 is said to offer up to 3x savings in egress cost for the same stream on other platforms and a 50%-75% reduction in operating cost over traditional workflows. It also supports deployments on ARM-based instances with significant savings on compute costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

Zixi’s broad partnership with AWS will also be on display, including integration of the SDVP in AWS wavelength zone, allowing customers to harness the power of 5G and enable widescale adoption of low latency 5G MEC architecture. The orchestration and monitoring of AWS Elemental MediaConnect and MediaLive channels utilising the Zen Master control plane will be demonstrated live on both the Zixi and AWS stands at the show. Zen Master also supports the management of JPEG XS and CDI flows and Elemental Link devices. It is available in the AWS Marketplace for both public and private offer contracts.

Zen Master also now offers a more intuitive warning/error escalation and alerting system, the ability to launch Zixi Broadcaster in AWS Wavelength Zone for 5G deployments​, and the ability to share Source monitoring page to others who do not have a Zen Master account​.
