Zixi is a software-based platform designed for the reliable transport, management, and monitoring of live video streams over IP networks, particularly in broadcast and media production environments. It enables high-quality, low-latency video delivery by leveraging protocols such as RTP, RTMP, and SRT, with built-in forward error correction (FEC) and adaptive bitrate control to maintain stream integrity across unpredictable networks.
The platform is widely used in media and entertainment, including live sports broadcasting, news networks, and streaming services, where uninterrupted video transmission is critical. Zixi supports both on-premises and cloud-based deployments, integrating with existing infrastructure to provide scalable, secure, and resilient video workflows.
- Manages and distributes live video streams over IP
- Provides real-time monitoring and analytics for stream health
- Supports integration with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Enables secure, low-latency video transport using FEC and bonding
- Used in broadcast, remote production, and direct-to-consumer streaming
Professionals with Zixi expertise are typically involved in video engineering, broadcast operations, or network infrastructure roles. They are expected to configure and manage Zixi pipelines, troubleshoot stream performance, and ensure compliance with broadcast-grade reliability standards. Knowledge of SDI-to-IP workflows, network protocols, and cloud video architectures is essential. Certifications such as Zixi Certified Professional (ZCP) validate technical proficiency in deploying and maintaining Zixi-powered video networks.
