Kontron and Zixi go Over The Top (OTT)
The ever-growing need for traditional media companies to embrace OTT is due to the increasing demand to access content – from anywhere and from any device. In response to the rise in multiscreen applications, the joint collaboration enables high-density OTT content delivery in any streaming format or resolution direct to laptops, smartphones, streaming video players and SmartTVs, from a single, consolidated 2U platform.
The two companies will show content service providers and broadcasters at the NAB Show (Las Vegas) a demonstration of Zixi Broadcaster transcoding software running on a fully redundant, high-density SYMKLOUD MS2900 Series converged platform.
Zixi Broadcaster software is compatible with all common broadcast codecs and workflows and can run on Kontron MS2900 converged 2U platforms delivering up to 18x 4K channels (ABR HLS/MPEG-DASH) in HEVC (H.265) format, plus many more channels of HD in H.264 format. The Zixi ABR streaming capabilities dynamically adjust stream rates to adapt to changing network conditions to deliver the best quality video possible to each viewer.
