Easily Enable Secure and Reliable Distribution for Error-Free Video Streaming over IP Using Zixi Technology

Zixi, the industry leader for enabling dependable, live broadcast-quality video over the public Internet, announced that Synamedia, the world’s largest independent video software provider, has integrated Zixi in to the D9800 Network Transport Receiver. The Synamedia D9800 is the most versatile receiver designed for today’s rapidly changing media environment that allows content providers the flexibility to migrate easily from satellite to terrestrial technologies in one device. Synamedia has also integrated the Virtual Digital Content Manager (DCM) platform into Zixi to offer virtualized and software-based video processing. Demanded by the industry largest content providers, Zixi’s proven, best-of-breed IP distribution coupled with Synamedia’s broad portfolio will allow a graceful path to terrestrial distribution from traditional satellite distribution.

The D9800, traditionally used for satellite distribution in combination with Synamedia’s PowerVu Network Center (PNC), employs an all-in-one interface that allows traditional content providers the tools to gracefully transition to the next generation of distribution solutions and embrace terrestrial transport without disruption, all while providing the same or better distribution, control, and reliability of satellite. The Virtual DCM encoding and multiplexing platform is a key component for video processing in both content and service provider headends.
