Zixi&ONAIR&app
Decoder BR-DE900
The zRAMP Video-over-IP server accepts Zixi transport protocol from JVC cameras and Zixi ONAIR iOS/Android app.
Zixi protocol utilizes Forward Error Correction (FEC), Repeat Request (ARQ) and Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) to
compensate for up to 30-40%of packet loss due to network congestion, limited bandwidth and excessive jitter.
The zRAMP outputs UDP, RTP, RTP+SMPTE FEC and RTMP streams to hardware/software decoders, CDNs (Facebook,
YouTube etc.) and SW video switchers (ProHD Studio, vMix).
