In this a seamless workflow the content gets delivered live to All Mobile Video for processing and is then delivered back to a Zixi cloud Broadcaster Platform where the files are transmuxed and transcoded into a variety of different formats, protocols, and bit rates for delivery to multiple end points.

Zixi worked closely with All Mobile Video to enable AMVDMDM to take a the Zixi transport stream, process the stream adding in the needed services, and then delivering the stream to a Zixi Broadcaster in the cloud, in real time. “Working with Zixi to enhance the stream for the UFC was a process we were able navigate through very quickly. This adds value to live event broadcasts, and at AMVDMDM we are delivering more and more content over IP. Zixi is the premier Broadcast delivery platform over IP and now with these services from AMVDM, we have a service that applies to any live broadcast.” Stated Joe Einstein, VP of Operations for AMVDM
