Zixi Feeder resides at the point of acquisition and is either embedded inside Zixi EcoZystem partner encoder HW or SW, inside a camera (no back pack or field pack required), or can be installed on a pc that will be operated with any non-Zixi enabled encoder or camera. Zixi Feeder accepts and prepares the encoded video for transmission over standard internet connections using Zixi's UDP based transport stream protocol. By communicating with the Zixi Broadcaster or the Zixi Receiver, it creates a secure reliable network-aware delivery path.
ZiXi Feeder offers the following features:
- Robust content delivery over IP - Communicates with Zixi Receiver or with Zixi Broadcaster using UDP-based, video-optimized protocols on standard IP networks.
- Broad range of encoders - Accepts inputs from a broad range of hardware/software encoders and professional-grade cameras.
- Recording - store streams as MPEG-TS files.
- Transport Stream Analyzer – MPEG-TS ETSI TR 101-290 analyzer
- Monitoring - captures network and content specific statistical information in real-time
- Supports many to many and any to any - gateway platform between UDP (unicast/multicast), ZiXi protected stream (unicast/multicast), RTMP, or other supported formats
