Channel 10 News Uses ZiXi Cloud Service to Stream Live Coverage of United Nations Vote on Palestinian Statehood
Field Reporters Rely on ZiXi to Broadcast Major UN News Event from the U.S. to Israel in Flawless Video
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ZiXi, the award-winning leading provider of solutions and services that deliver flawless broadcast-quality HDTV globally via the Internet, today announced that Channel 10 News is using ZiXi’s innovative video transport service to cost-effectively broadcast live video of the United Nations (UN) hearings on Palestinian statehood to viewers in Israel on September 23, 2011.
Field reporter Gil Tamary of Channel 10 News will be covering the event taking place live at the UN’s New York City headquarters and will feed the video in real-time through a standard tabletop encoder with ZiXi Ready™ software. The encoder with the integrated ZiXi Feeder will send the video signal to the ZiXi Broadcaster cloud service via a consumer broadband connection and the video will stream live – and in pristine broadcast quality – to Channel 10 News in Tel Aviv for airing throughout Israel.
“We have been using ZiXi to broadcast news from the United States for several years now, and we are extremely happy with the quality and reliability of the video,” said Efi Dilmoni, vice president of engineering and technology at Channel 10 News in Israel. “ZiXi has allowed our field reporters to deliver high-quality live contribution feeds quickly, easily, and with great cost savings.”
ZiXi’s on-premise, mobile and cloud-based services are the only broadcast-quality, low-latency video transport solutions that deliver live and video on demand distribution from the field over the Internet at a fraction of the cost of expensive fiber and satellite video distribution solutions.
