One of the key features of the of the Zixi’s platform is its ability to synchronize multiple real-time video and audio inputs during broadcasting.  This enables Zixi to integrate live video feeds to and from different geographic locations in the world and provide a real time interactive television experience.

Zixi’s powered content can also be enjoyed on Apple Macs, PCs and smart mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone and Android powered devices.

Zixi’s partnership with NETGEAR gives customers a reliable, easy-to-use device and platform to experience full, real-time HD streaming over the Internet,” said Israel Drori, CEO and Founder of Zixi.
