Zixi

The company operates an enterprise software and managed services model focused on live video delivery over IP networks. Its core value creation comes from enabling broadcasters, OTT/FAST operators, media service providers and related enterprises to ingest, transport, process and monitor live video with high reliability and low latency across on-premises and cloud environments. The platform consists of multiple interoperable software components (core transport and processing, orchestration/control, edge endpoints, player SDKs) that can be deployed on customer infrastructure or consumed as a managed service.

Revenue is generated through term or subscription licences for these software components, OEM and integration arrangements for embedded edge modules, and managed service fees for the hosted version where the company provisions and operates infrastructure for customers. Additional value is created by offering deployment on major public clouds, including procurement via cloud marketplaces and private offers that align with customers’ existing cloud spend and enterprise agreements. The focus is entirely B2B, with contracts typically negotiated on an enterprise basis rather than via public list pricing.

Zixi is a US-based software company providing an IP-based live video transport and management platform for broadcasters, OTT/FAST operators, media companies and service providers. Its software-defined video platform includes ingest, transport, processing, orchestration and edge components that enable broadcast-quality live video contribution and distribution over unmanaged IP networks and cloud infrastructure.

The company generates revenue primarily from enterprise software licences and subscriptions for its platform components, plus managed cloud services delivered as a service and sold directly to professional media organisations or via cloud marketplaces. Its technology is embedded by OEM hardware partners and used by operations and engineering teams responsible for live video workflows rather than by consumers. Zixi was acquired by private equity firm Clearhaven Partners in 2024.
