Osprey Video has forged a technology partnership with Zixi, maker of the Zixi Platform video workflow orchestrator used by content creators around the world for contribution, management, and distribution of live and live-linear, broadcast-quality video over IP.

The partnership integrates the Zixi Platform with Osprey’s Talon encoder and decoders.

The result, Osprey says, “is a joint solution that allows even the smallest content creators to launch broadcast-quality content and channels over IP with little infrastructure and no overhead costs.”

Scott Whitcomb, business development manager at Osprey Video, notes, “The Talon units are encoding/decoding powerhouses filled with functionality in a small, cost-effective, reliable package. By joining forces with Zixi, our joint users everywhere can easily leverage the Talon’s renowned capabilities to elevate the quality of their broadcast content within the Zixi ecosystem. We’re especially excited about the possibilities for smaller organizations, who now have a solution that levels the playing field when it comes to spinning up broadcast-grade internet channels without significant investment.”

The Zixi Platform has three main software components that can be configured for a wide variety of cloud, on-premise, or hybrid workflows. In this integration, the Zixi software tools are embedded into the user interface of the Talon encoders and decoders. As a result, Zixi Platform customers can add encoding and/or decoding benefits to their workflows by plugging in the Talon hardware. From there, the Talon goes to work turning IP video signals into broadcast-quality content for delivery over the internet.

Israel Dori, founder and president of Zixi, added, “Many of the world’s content creators rely on our partners for reliable gear that works seamlessly with the Zixi software. Osprey’s Talon units are simple, small-form-factor devices for encoding and decoding content. Now that Osprey’s encoders and decoders are integrated with the Zixi Platform, our customers can deliver high-quality video over the internet in a very simple way without changing how they operate.”
