Telestream®, the leading provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, today announced integration with the Zixi video delivery platform, enabling users to send Zixi transport streams to any
Zixi on-premise platform or cloud-based service, including Zixi Ramp. Zixi’s cloud-based video delivery system is available as a drop-down destination within Wirecast live streaming production software.
Using the Zixi platform and technology,
Wirecast users can dramatically improve the quality of first-mile ingest to popular CDNs and for contribution workflows regardless of distance. By centralizing the ingest point of presence (POP) using the Zixi platform, Wirecast users can have a simple contribution setup for global event ingest.
“The integration with Zixi and Wirecast provides our customers more options for seamlessly producing and delivering the highest quality video to their audiences,” says Barbara DeHart, VP desktop products at Telestream. “We’re glad to have Zixi as part of the Telestream partner network.”
“We are happy to be adding Telestream Wirecast to the growing number of powerful solution providers to the Zixi partner ecosystem. Zixi integration with Wirecast gives our media partners one of the most popular and powerful sets of tools to manage live events while leveraging the reliability, quality and security of the Zixi platform,” says Raymond Thomson, VP Product Marketing Zixi LLC.
With this integration, Wirecast users can simply show up at a venue offering Internet access, connect to Zixi Broadcaster or Ramp through Wirecast and instantly stream video to their chosen streaming platform in pristine quality.
Zixi Ramp is implemented by downloading the Zixi SW client, which accepts video directly from Wirecast, prepares it for transmission via the Internet or private IP networks and transmits it to the Zixi Platforms sitting on premise or in the cloud. Zixi Platforms and Zixi Ramp, running in Amazon Web Services'™ (AWS) global cloud accepts the incoming video from Wirecast and hands it off to the user's selected online and CDN destinations.
