SPOTV Adopts Zixi For Affiliate Delivery

20/11/2024

Zixi, the industry leader for reliable, live broadcast-quality video over IP networks and provider of the award-winning Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP ), today announced that SPOTV, a prominent linear and digital sports service in Southeast Asia, has adopted Zixi technology to streamline and enhance content distribution across the region.

South Korea's leading provider of linear and digital sports content, SPOTV has expanded into Southeast Asia, transforming the sports viewing experience with a diverse lineup of global and regional sports. By deploying Zixi, SPOTV gains complete control over its content distribution, enabling a transition from traditional satellite and fiber to a modern, cloud-based IP infrastructure. Utilizing Zixi-as-a-Service (ZaaS), SPOTV has seamlessly adopted a flexible, cost-effective, and robust IP delivery workflow, overcoming issues common in fiber networks, like packet loss and signal drops.

A key component of this transformation is the Zixi Broadcaster, bridging SPOTV's on-premises sources to the cloud where the SDVP efficiently processes and distributes content to affiliates, with ZEN Master serving as the control plane to orchestrate operations and provide end-to-end visibility. By transitioning to IP-based distribution with Zixi, SPOTV can onboard new affiliates faster, enhance operational agility and reduce costs. With the elimination of costly fiber networks and satellite infrastructure in favor of streamlined IP and cloud-based networks, SPOTV can reach new markets and explore additional revenue streams without significant upfront investments.

Zixi-as-a-Service (ZaaS) offers broadcast infrastructure as a service, allowing SPOTV to seamlessly ingest and distribute live video over any IP network with ultra-low latency. It delivers the full capabilities of the SDVP while ensuring a fully redundant video-over-IP pipeline, protecting against all potential failure scenarios. Zixi's protocol optimization, including higher throughput and lossless compression, along with ZEN Master cloud control interface further enhance cost-efficiency and ease of management. With reduced egress costs and lower computing power requirements, SPOTV benefits from a lower total cost of ownership while gaining the tools to monitor and manage signals across the network.

One significant discovery was the positive impact of the Zixi protocol on our network performance, and how Zixi's adoption has helped resolve issues our affiliates encountered with traditional delivery methods, said Prakash Maniam, Head of Broadcast Operations and Engineering at SPOTV. With Zixi's advanced FEC capabilities, the system effectively recovers lost packets, resulting in error free delivery across the network.

The Zixi platform enables SPOTV to fully manage and control our signal delivery, ensuring reliable, end-to-end distribution, said Lee Chong Khay (CK), CEO of SPOTV. This partnership with Zixi has empowered us to deliver higher-quality service and meet the growing demands of our audience across Southeast Asia. We look forward to deepening this collaboration as we expand into new phases of growth and innovation with Zixi.

With over 15 years of experience in delivering large-scale video workflows, Zixi brings invaluable expertise to our customers, said Marc Aldrich, CEO, Zixi. He added, From planning through to execution, our team of regional technical experts supported SPOTV at every step, making the transition to IP a seamless experience.
