Ginx TV pioneers cloud playout platform for its esports channel distribution

Having been founded in 2008 as video gaming channel, in 2014-16 GinxTV pivoted to Esports and was looking at expanding quickly. Ginx TV concluded that its reliance on outsourced managed service was too expensive to operate. Launching new channels took months and localising these channels proved problematic. Ginx TV needed a flexible system that would enable it to launch new linear channels for new markets it was entering at low cost while allowing it to manage complexity of live feed management and global channel distribution using Zixi. Veset Nimbus has been originating Ginx TV channels across the world for the past 5 years. Ginx channels broadcast across Europe, North America and Asia.
