Zixi has announced a partnership with Ant Media, and integration with Ant Media Server (AMS), ready-to-use, scalable real-time video streaming solutions for live video streaming, deployed easily and quickly on-premises or on public cloud networks. AMS helps enterprises such as ed-tech, gaming, e-auction services, broadcasting TV stations, security or surveillance companies, and mobile app developers who require live video streaming infrastructure to build live video conferencing, webinar, or mass broadcast and monitoring application solutions.
AMS is a streaming engine that can ingest high-performance Zixi-enabled live sources and provide adaptive, ultra-low latency streaming by using WebRTC technology with sub .5 seconds latency. Highly scalable both horizontally and vertically, easily growing the number of publishers and viewers with auto-scale cluster. AMS supports millions of viewers and streams, and in addition to leveraging Zixi sources, users can also publish AMS streams out to the SDVP unlocking powerful workflows including advanced GPU accelerated live transcoding, Zixi patent pending sequenced hitless failover, connection bonding over disparate networks, purpose-built live operations dashboards, enhanced visualization and centralized management of live channels. Ultra-Low Latency real-time streaming takes Zixi protected streams and delivers via a scaled WebRTC network with a full WebRTC stack, including SFU, MCU, and Data Channel for global delivery at scale.
Ant Media Server has integrated the SDVP to ingest live streams delivered using the industry proven Zixi protocol which means that AMS users can connect to a wide range of broadcast-quality live sources and take advantage of premium features such as enhanced stream resilience with congestion aware routing and patented dynamic FEC up to 40% more efficient network utilization, quality optimized delivery with content aware bandwidth shaping, and the industry’s leading security including best-in-class security with DTLS and AES content encryption security. Low latency error free transport over IP networks is critical to the delivery of live video over unmanaged IP networks, and the Zixi protocol is a resilient congestion and network-aware protocol that adjusts to varying network conditions for error-free video transport over IP with 99.9999% uptime at minimal latency providing protected multicast transport, bandwidth efficiency and enables encoder backpressure. The Zixi ZEN Master control plane is also integrated to enable users to manage large-scale configurations and orchestrate, analyze, monitor, and report on live video streams including Ant Media Server deployments, and the Zixi Enabled Network of customers, integrated hardware and software applications, platforms and service providers standardized on Zixi.
