Zixi will support the protocol for AWS Elemental, Medialive and Mediaconnect

Amazon Web Services customers will be able to leverage Zixi's technology to optimize video IP networks and configure outputs to deliver real-time live video content over unmanaged networks quickly, securely, and reliably.

Zixi, which specializes in the distribution of live video over the public Internet, will now support the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elemental MediaLive and AWS Elemental MediaConnect.

Zixi's delivery protocol technology is now integrated with the latest version of AWS Elemental Live. This allows customers to leverage Zixi's proven methods to Optimize IP Video Networks and configure outputs to deliver live video content in real time over unmanaged networks, providing a fast, secure, and reliable contribution methodology for getting video content to AWS.

Zixi's technology is based on the combination of bug fixes content-adaptive advancement, Error recovery, Congestion prevention, Managing multiple transmission paths and dynamic feedback to control encoder speed, all with minimal latency.

Zixi customers also have the option to configure their AWS Elemental MediaLive outputs to be sent to AWS Elemental MediaConnect. AWS Elemental MediaConnect is a high-quality transport service for live video that provides users with the reliability and security of satellite and fiber combined with the flexibility, agility, and economics of IT-based networks.

AWS Elemental MediaConnect combines the Reliable Zixi Video Transport, high-security stream sharing and real-time network traffic and video monitoring that allows users to focus on the content, not the transport infrastructure.

Gordon Brooks, Executive Chairman of Zixi, comments that "the Zixi Platform offers a mezzanine-quality video streaming solution that provides an alternative to traditional satellite and fiber technology, giving content creators and distributors a real choice in efficient and reliable solutions."

"We are excited to enhance our capability by leveraging the power of AWS Elemental to enable global media companies to easily create opportunities where content creators can leverage any IP network around the world to deliver media services to audiences who want reliable, flexible, and impeccable quality access," Brooks concludes.
