The Zixi Universe diagram shows how a Zixi embedded (ZiXi EcoZystem OEM partners) device initiates a ZiXi stream at acquisition or how ZiXi Feeder running on an appliance or mobile device enables non-Zixi embedded devices to initiate a live stream. Zixi Feeder encapsulates the stream in the Zixi transport protocol and delivers point to point or point to multi-point over standard IP connections. Zixi can be deployed on premise or in the cloud with the ability to monitor streams anywhere along the path. For management, processing and larger scale distribution capabilities, Zixi can support complex production workflows for live events capable of transcoding, recording, and more in a clustered environment that supports reliability and scalability.
