From Satellite to IP at Scale: A Proven Path for Global Broadcasters

13 Sept 2026
IBC Content Everywhere Stage 2

The satellite-to-IP transition is no longer a future roadmap item. The pressure to move is real, the technology is ready, and the business case is compelling.
Amagi and Zixi share the stage to present what co-innovation looks like in practice. Not two products bolted together, but a unified, integrated cloud broadcasting solution designed to replace satellite infrastructure without compromising on reliability, quality, or operational control.
Together, the platforms deliver broadcast-grade redundancy with hitless failover and sub-second latency; sophisticated playout with live contribution feeds, SCTE messaging, and ESNI-driven automated switching; localised and regionalised feeds with dynamic market switching at scale; and full end-point observability. Cloud elasticity means paying for what you use, not provisioning for peak.
No satellite dishes, outdoor cabling, muxes, or conditional access hardware. What remains is an agile, multi-protocol IP workflow that protects existing infrastructure investments and avoids vendor lock-in.
The Sky partnership demonstrates delivery of over 6,000 live sports events annually through a fully cloud-based IP workflow. A managed services team ensures the solution can be operated end to end.
