Zixi Teams with Elemental Technologies, RED Digital Cinema and BrightSign at NAB to Showcase Over-the-Top 4K Broadcasting

Waltham, MA (PRWEB) April 07, 2015

Zixi, the industry leader of live broadcast-quality video delivery over public and private IP networks to any device, anywhere, at any time, today announced at the NAB Show (April 11-16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center) its collaboration with broadcast industry leaders to deliver proof-of-concept for Over-the-Top (OTT) distribution of live events broadcast in 4K. Elemental Technologies (booth SU2724), RED Digital Cinema (booth SL1517) and BrightSign, LLC®, the global market leader in digital signage players, partnered with Zixi (booth SU10802) to enable end-to-end 4K distribution over IP to deliver 4K content from any live venue to virtually any destination. OTT is utilized by a growing number of low-cost service providers to deliver video content directly to viewers, creating the direct relationship with viewers that’s becoming commonplace as on-demand viewing continues to displace traditional broadcast distribution.

The solution demonstrated at the NAB Show highlights the power of OTT – including acquisition, transcode, distribution over IP, decode and display of a 4K live stream. Source input is captured in 4K using an EPIC RED DRAGON and the RED 4K Broadcast Module, which then feeds an Elemental 1RU encoder capable of real-time 4Kp60 HEVC video processing. The resulting content is wrapped in the Zixi Transport Protocol by the Zixi Feeder running on the same Elemental system. Zixi then transports the content over a standard Internet connection, protecting the stream and managing packet loss and jitter, delivering the file to the Zixi Broadcaster. The stream is then distributed to multiple destinations, each equipped with a BrightSign 4K media player with the embedded Zixi Receiver that accepts the 4K content. BrightSign 4K then decodes and sends the content to a 4K display via HDMI 2.0 preserving native 4K resolution and 60 frames-per-second playback.

The workflow described above constitutes an end-to-end 4K distribution solution over IP capable of delivering live 4K content to multiple endpoints simultaneously. The security and reliability of such a solution offers a proven OTT distribution model to broadcasters and program providers, as well as commercial establishments such as bars, hotels, restaurants and other venues.

This end to end 4K offering will be featured in several booths at NAB. In particular, RED Digital Cinema will feature striking 4K footage from capture to endpoint, starting with the EPIC DRAGON camera and delivered via Zixi to BrightSign’s 4K players displaying the content on the booth’s 4K screens. Elemental will also feature BrightSign’s 4K players in its booth. Zixi will be featuring BrightSign’s 4K and HD players at the Zixi booth.

Smart Media Technologies Releases a Great New Tool for Home School Parents and Students

Henderson, Nevada (PRWEB) March 18, 2013

Smart Media Technologies releases new features to Home Page Pays that help those who choose Homeschooling over traditional schooling. While Homeschooling has its benefits it also has some negative aspects to it as well and SMT offers a no cost solution to each of them. According to NHERI National Home Education Research Institute “Homeschooling – home education or home-based education – has grown from nearly extinct in the United States in the 1970’s to now about 2 million school-age students.”

For parents looking to completely opt-out of the traditional education model finding a quality curriculum for students can normally be a very costly endeavor. With HPP parents now have access to over 2,200 video classes to offer to their children. Parents can find everything from basic educational classes to advanced university classes from Stanford and Yale. HPP also offers prep courses for college entrance exams as well as computer education classes and these are offered to students worldwide at absolutely no cost.

HPP offers different ways for parents and students to connect with others with common goals and interests from anywhere in the world. There are many benefits to this including the ability to unite for political reasons. They can also share educational ideas or even plan trips and offer student exchange programs. If they are not part of a community they can join one, and if there is not one for what they feel passionate about they can create one. Those who might be thinking of Homeschooling can connect with others who already do to learn more about it.

Through Home Page Pays parents have the opportunity to offer things to their children that they may feel their children are missing out on like social events or even sports teams and it is global so the possibilities are endless. There is even a special place to make a “call out” to the entire community where someone could say “I am looking for home school parents in Ohio” or “I am forming a softball league for Homeschooled students in Texas.” The possibilities are only limited by people’s imaginations.

Home Page Pays can even be used for fundraising for different projects. Anyone can choose to purchase and brand their own version of HPP and they can create special content if they choose to and by giving the special branded version away the owner earns a percentage of money whenever any of those people are online. And they also earn off of the people that any of those people give it to so the fundraising capability is actually unlimited. The money that they earn does not come from the students themselves but from the advertisers on HPP in the same way that actors are paid by advertisers when they do television shows. Everything on HPP is completely funded by advertisers from around the world.

Students can also socialize and play games with their friends and even hold competitions against others in their own community or other communities. They also have the ability to communicate in many different ways not available anywhere else through things like Smart Mail which unlike traditional email is 100% safe, secure, spam free and deliverable and communicate live as well through Smart Chat and socialize through Smart Chirp. Smart Chirp is a unique kind of social network where people can share thoughts, pictures and videos with all their contacts which is more like a social gathering rather than a social bulletin board which is common to most social networks.
