Zixi brings Broadcaster V19 and showcases interoperable platform on Stand 5.A76
Waltham, Mass. and Amsterdam, NL. – 26 August 2026 – Zixi, a leader in live video delivery and workflow orchestration, will be exhibiting at IBC2026, taking place 11–14 September at RAI Amsterdam. Zixi will be in Hall 5, Stand 5.A76, showcasing the Zixi Platform for managing and delivering live video across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments, alongside the latest release of Zixi Broadcaster, v19.
This latest release targets two of the most persistent problems in live operations, network conditions that degrade at the worst possible moment, and a growing equipment chain between source and audience. These new capabilities and expansions give operators more ways to keep a feed on air while removing boxes from the signal path.
Alongside Broadcaster v19, Zixi will demonstrate the wider capabilities of the Zixi Platform, including patented hitless failover and multi-path redundancy, recovery from up to 40% packet loss, multi-protocol, multi-vendor and multi-cloud interoperability, stream-level processing with ESNI/ESAM support, and full-workflow observability through ZEN Master. Customers running the platform have reported up to three times lower compute and bandwidth costs than legacy approaches, a message that continues to resonate as broadcasters weigh satellite replacement and other moves to IP-first delivery.
“Every conversation at IBC this year comes back to the same question. How do you keep live video reliable when the network won’t cooperate,” said Marc Aldrich, CEO of Zixi. “Broadcaster v19 and the wider Zixi Platform gives broadcasters a direct answer. Fewer points of failure, automatic recovery when conditions degrade even in the last mile, and a clear, proven path off satellite and onto IP without adding risk to live operations.”
Zixi will also take part in two sessions on the IBC Content Everywhere stage. On Saturday 12 September, Jonathan Low of Zixi joins Jan Frelek of Backscreen and John Leonard of DeviceAtlas for “Closing the Gap: Why Ad Tech and Broadcast Distribution Must Converge” (Stage 2, 10:15–11:00). On Sunday 13 September, Low returns for “From Satellite to IP at Scale: A Proven Path for Global Broadcasters” (Stage 2, 16:30–16:50) with Paul Finster of Amagi.
Interoperability remains the throughline of Zixi’s message at IBC. Reflecting that, Zixi will also be featured on the NETINT stand, Hall 1, Stand 1.D49, alongside NETINT’s ecosystem of encoding and transcoding partners. Across every conversation at the show, the message is the same: any network, any cloud, any protocol. The Zixi Platform is built to work across encoders, decoders and infrastructure from any vendor, so broadcasters can build live workflows around the technology they already run rather than being locked into a single ecosystem.
Zixi is also a proud sponsor of two events at IBC 2026.
On Thursday, 10 September 2026, from 3:00–6:00 PM, Zixi will sponsor the Bitmovin Innovators Network at the Heineken Experience (Stadhouderskade 78, 1072 NV Amsterdam). Register here: https://go.bitmovin.com/bitmovin-innovators-network-at-ibc-2026
Zixi is also a sponsor of “Where Does the Signal Go Next?”, a breakfast event hosted by Hive Group in Amsterdam during IBC Show, bringing together broadcasters, industry leaders, and technologists to discuss the shift away from traditional broadcast distribution as European DTT switch-offs and North America’s C-band spectrum auction reshape how broadcasters reach audiences. Zixi’s Alan Young will join a panel discussion covering the various options and solutions available to broadcasters. More details: https://wearehivegroup.com/ibc-show/where-does-the-signal-go-next
