SPOTV Adopts Zixi Technology

Zixi has announced that SPOTV, a prominent linear and digital sports service in Southeast Asia, has adopted Zixi technology to streamline and enhance content distribution across the region.

South Korea's leading provider of linear and digital sports content, SPOTV has expanded into Southeast Asia, transforming the sports viewing experience with a diverse lineup of global and regional sports. By deploying Zixi, SPOTV gains complete control over its content distribution, enabling a transition from traditional satellite and fibre to a modern, cloud-based IP infrastructure. Utilising Zixi-as-a-Service (ZaaS), SPOTV has seamlessly adopted a flexible, cost-effective, and robust IP delivery workflow, overcoming issues common in fibre networks, like packet loss and signal drops.

A key component of this transformation is the Zixi Broadcaster, bridging SPOTV’s on-premises sources to the cloud where the SDVP efficiently processes and distributes content to affiliates, with ZEN Master serving as the control plane to orchestrate operations and provide end-to-end visibility. By transitioning to IP-based distribution with Zixi, SPOTV can onboard new affiliates faster, enhance operational agility and reduce costs. With the elimination of costly fibre networks and satellite infrastructure in favour of streamlined IP and cloud-based networks, SPOTV can reach new markets and explore additional revenue streams without significant upfront investments.

Zixi-as-a-Service (ZaaS) offers broadcast infrastructure as a service, allowing SPOTV to seamlessly ingest and distribute live video over any IP network with ultra-low latency. It delivers the full capabilities of the SDVP while ensuring a fully redundant video-over-IP pipeline, protecting against all potential failure scenarios. Zixi's protocol optimization, including higher throughput and lossless compression, along with ZEN Master cloud control interface further enhance cost-efficiency and ease of management. With reduced egress costs and lower computing power requirements, SPOTV benefits from a lower total cost of ownership while gaining the tools to monitor and manage signals across the network.
