Zixi Announces Product Availability For RIST Initiative

Zixi has announced product availability for the emerging Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) initiative being developed from members of the Video Services Forum (VSF).

The VSF is an international association comprised of service providers, users and manufacturers dedicated to interoperability, quality metrics and education for media networking technologies. Zixi, continuing a long history of advocating for and adopting open standards such as MPEG-DASH, MMT, SMPTE 2022-2 and 2022-7 (RTP), have called on over twelve years of experience delivering Emmy winning, mission critical solutions to prominent media companies, OEMs and service providers to be major contributors to the RIST Specification.

As an emerging standard in the early recommendation phase that over time as it develops may gain traction within the customer community, Zixi has been participating and adding to the recommendation in order to guarantee future interoperability with new clients as well as the company’s 350+ existing install base around the world. Without impacting the recommendation, Zixi’s enhanced RIST combines forward error correction, retransmission and congestion avoidance in an efficient way. An addition to the Zixi Broadcaster, TR 101 Network Analytics, Content Quality Analytics, hitless failover for over 99.999 reliability, network bonding, the ubiquitous view and reporting that Zixi ZEN Master provides, and many more features from the company’s robust platform will be added.

Zixi will next be exhibiting in booth C55 at BVE in London February 26th through the 28th, then South Upper 10102 at NAB in Las Vegas April 8th through the 11th.
