Zixi Receiver is a lightweight software tool that runs on standard PC hardware or can be embedded into a wide variety of professional decoders and mobile devices as part of the growing Zixi EcoZystem. When combined with Zixi Feeder and Zixi Broadcaster, Zixi Receiver delivers the quality and reliability that enables professional broadcasters, sports networks, and service providers to adopt IP networks for primary contribution, ENG backhaul, satellite backup, disaster recovery, OTT and broadcast distribution.

Zixi Receiver offers the following features:

  • Robust content delivery over IP - Accepts input from Zixi Broadcaster via standard IP networks (including the public Internet).
  • Professional quality outputs - Outputs professional-quality video to a broad range of Integrated Receiver- Decoders (IRDs), and to file system.
  • Supports standard PCs - Zixi Receiver software runs on standard PC hardware (Zixi Appliance) lowering costs and facilitating simple integration into the network.
  • Embedded options - Zixi Receiver software can also also embedded into decoders, set-top boxes, PCs, mobile devices, smart TVs, web, and apps.

It is possible to connect Zixi Feeder directly to an embedded Zixi Receiver based on point-to-point communication, however this capability requires specific integration and is not generally available.
