By combining iOiO Live Workflows with the SDVP, users can easily feed Zixi transport streams into the cloud for encoding and OTT distribution to multiple platforms and partners. iOiO users can easily enable Zixi for error-free video transport over any IP network, with minimal changes to existing workflows. Using ZEN Master and iOiO Live Automation, customers can leverage the benefits of a cloud-based control plane without the necessity of hardware infrastructure or a large operations team. This integration automatically creates an AWS delivery Endpoint, which is configured on the iOiO platform to transcode, insert ads, and deliver the OTT stream to the customer’s CDN.
