Zixi And the provider of the software -defined video platform (SDVP), has announced, after winning the Prize to the IBC 2022 year accelerator project, its participation in two other innovative projects for the 2023 edition that will be presented at the next fair in Amsterdam.
IBC created the Accelerator program in 2019 to support the middle and entertainment industry with a framework for agile, collaborative and fast innovation with a unique approach based on multiempresa projects to solve complex business and technological challenges of media and entertainment. It focuses on practical experimentation and learning new technologies and possibilities through its application in tangible cases and the deployment of workflows.
Among the participants in the winning project of Zixi 2022, entitled 5G Remote Production… in the middle of nowherand también se encontraban los socios del ecosistema Zixi Enabled Network AWS, Microsoft, Net Insight y Singular.Live, la Universidad de Strathclyde y broadcasters como BBC, BT Sport, BT Media & Broadcast, RTÈ, TV2, Olympic Broadcasting Services, Paramount y Warner Brothers Discovery.
The avant -garde project demonstrated the Portability of a flexible and private network In a box for cases for the use of live emission production, for the production of emissions without ties in real world scenes. Case of live use for the PIC project at the September IBC Fair, demonstrating how they used extremely remote geographical locations, such as Kenya, New Zealand, southern Ireland and the highlands of Scotland.
Due to the success of the project, the system presented was used as part of the live coverage of the funerals of Isabel II of Scotland on September 13, 2022. The wide challenges of innovation covered from the development of architecture and workflows, including the local tests of the equipment, until the demonstration that these 5G-NPN networks can now be used to support and allow the production of live video Low terrestrial orbit satellites for the backhaul.
This year, Zixi will participate in two leading projects of the 2023 Accelerator Media Innovation An IBC 2023. The first is an independent average production of the gallery that will carry out a live in situ event, a fully automated study that changes between the facilities and the cloud, while applying this workflow both to professional dissemination facilities equipped at first level equipped and to podcast configurations/low -end social media.
A standardized and structured approach will be explored on how the API can guarantee the Interoperability and connectivity de los dispositivos de software. ITN, YLE, BBC, TV2, TRANSMIXR serán los campeones de este esfuerzo, en el que los socios de Zixi Enabled Network, Grass Valley y Singular.Live, se unirán a Zixi, ya que la aplicación On-Air entregará streams desde un reportero itinerante sobre el terreno a su entorno en la nube, representando una noticia de última hora en el lugar de los hechos sin soporte adicional de camiones OB.
The application Zixi On-Air It allows flexibility without the need for a backpack solution, options for multiple contribution methods (5g / 4g / leo) with incorporated linkage and allows remote operators to easily configure to send to the cloud or on-PREM reception locations.
Once in the cloud, the Compressed IP conversion to NDI It is sent to a VPC and through a production workflow, which means that customers can alternate among the best solutions based on production requirements. Once the production transmission is finished, it is sent to the software again Zixi Broadcaster and it is transcodified for distribution with ultra -ability and the supervision and orchestration of ZEN Master From any location.
The second project is Connect & Produce Anywhere, promovido por DAZN, Sky Sports, BT Media & Broadcast, Vodafone Group, BBC, TV2 y con la participación tecnológica de Open Broadcast Systems, Singular.live, Google, Microsoft, AMD, Grass Valley y Verizon Business. Zixi se está utilizando para la distribución a través de múltiples proveedores de infraestructura en la nube para construir un sistema distribuido de computación en el borde y en la nube para producir eventos deportivos en directo y crear la capacidad de mover geográficamente el procesamiento de medios sin que el usuario lo sepa. También se hará hincapié en la interoperabilidad entre proveedores de software con enfoques comunes.
"The IBC Accelerator Media Innovation program is a fantastic platform for the industry to meet to solve the technological and business challenges of the media and entertainment," he says Chris Fellows, Senior Solutions Engineering Manager of Zixi.
