With Zixi, you can multicast outside of push mode, meaning that multicast addresses do not have to be determined in advance of video delivery, making for a more flexible and seamless one-to-many or many-to-many transport solution over any IP.

The talk presents new techniques to enable a queue-based real-time navigation of linear TV channels. The innovation includes the use of two queues. A history queue tracks recently visited channels, and a future queue is loaded with recommended channels based on personalized rankings. The new techniques address the problem of tedious channel surfing by providing a simple interface as well as recommended channels in a look-ahead manner that accounts for content on the channels. The queue of future channels will be dynamically updated based on the built-in intelligence in recommendation and prediction. It therefore can be leveraged to enable fast channel zapping.
