Zixi and Magewell expand collaboration

The aim is to give broadcasters and streaming providers a reliable, end-to-end path for live video contribution over public and hybrid IP networks. The companies say a leading US streaming service has deployed the combined Magewell/Zixi solution to reliably receive and decode live IP video across its production and distribution operations. However, the companies did not name the service. 

Jonathan Low, VP Channel Sales, Partnerships, Zixi, said: “Reliability is everything in live contribution, and our customers want that reliability without the cost and complexity of legacy transport. Pairing Magewell’s versatile, affordable encoders and decoders with the Zixi platform gives streamers and broadcasters a simple, scalable way to move pristine live video into and out of their workflows, and to see and manage every point from ZEN Master.” 

Nick Ma, CEO, CTO, Magewell, added: “Native Zixi support across our Ultra Encode encoders and Pro Convert decoders lets customers build flexible, multi-protocol workflows on both ends of the network. We’re proud that a leading US streaming service has chosen Magewell and Zixi together, and we look forward to helping more customers deliver reliable live video at scale.”
