Capabilities

What Zilk IPTV Platform does

  • Unified live, VOD & DVR middleware

    A single content and entitlement layer drives linear channels, on-demand catalogs, cloud DVR, catch-up, start-over, and pause-live-TV across every client.

  • Multi-device white-label apps

    Fully branded set-top-box, Samsung/LG/Android TV, iOS, Android, and HTML5 web apps built from one codebase and one content source.

  • Hybrid multicast + OTT delivery

    IP multicast for bandwidth-efficient live TV on managed networks and adaptive HLS/DASH unicast for OTT and out-of-home, unified behind a shared origin.

  • Studio-grade content protection

    Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay multi-DRM with conditional access, HDCP enforcement, and forensic watermarking to satisfy content-owner requirements.

  • Low-latency live

    LL-HLS and CMAF chunked delivery bring glass-to-glass latency near broadcast for sports, betting, and live events.

  • QoE & QoS monitoring

    End-to-end telemetry from headend to player tracks rebuffering, start-up time, bitrate, and error rates against your service-level targets.

  • Built-in monetization

    Server-side ad insertion for live and VOD plus subscription, transactional, and ad-supported models with entitlement enforcement.

  • Billing & OSS/BSS integration

    Provisioning, entitlements, and lifecycle events integrate with your existing billing, CRM, and subscriber-management systems.

Why Zilk

Why Zilk IPTV Platform

  • Deployed and operated for you — Zilk runs the headend, delivery, and 24/7 NOC, so you launch a TV product, not a media-engineering project.

  • One platform covers the whole chain, from signal acquisition to the app in the subscriber's hand, with no multi-vendor integration burden.

  • Truly white-label: your brand, your content, and your subscriber and revenue data, across managed-network and OTT delivery from a single stack.

  • Hybrid multicast-plus-OTT delivery gives operators broadcast-grade efficiency on the managed network and reach on every unmanaged device.
