| 07 March 2021 As it expands the reach of its video-on-demand (VOD) and pay-per-view (PPV) library online, FreeCast is to deploy Zixi’s software-defined video platform (SDVP) for B2B distribution of its live linear channels over IP networks. SDVP has been integrated with Google Cloud, using the Google Cloud infrastructure and platform capabilities, as well as Zixi APIs.FreeCast will use SDVP with SelectTV, its service designed for bandwidth distributors and device manufacturers, in order to help with live video delivery for the service’s clients. The software will enable FreeCast to adjust to varying network conditions and use forward error correction techniques for video transport over IP with what Zixi says will be minimal latency. SDVP will also provide DTLS and AES encryption, allowing for protected multicast transport and bandwidth efficiency.
