TIXstream Functionality
TIXstream is the ultimate tool for file transfer (F) in wide area network. Options are available for video transmission (V) and security (S).
| TIXstream Options | |
|---|---|
| File Transfer (F) | TIXstream-F features format agnostic file transfer available at different speed grades. |
| Real-Time Video Option (V) | TIXstream enables real-time remote playback of SDI and (Dual) HD SDI video output of DPX frames in HD and 2K resolution (10 bit RGB and YUV) — ideal for distributed reviewing of uncompressed content. |
| Security Option (S) | All file and video transfers can be complemented with a security option adding support for standard strong AES-256 encryption in real-time. Encryption is available as an option for F1q and F1. F10 includes encryption. |
| TIXstream Product Formats | |
| Appliance | TIXstream appliances are turn key solutions based on specified standard server hardware, a Linux OS and the TIXstream software package. |
| Software | If you prefer to run TIXstream on your favorite hardware and Linux OS – you are ready-to-go with our TIXstream software package. Please ask us for hardware and OS requirements. |
| OEM | For specific requirements – like high performance local file system operation, application specific transfers or speeds beyond 10G – TIXEL is able to provide custom taylored solutions. Please contact us. |

Transfer rate may be limited when round trip time (RTTmax) exceeds 200ms and network packet loss rate exceeds 0.1%. Sum of transfer rates of parallel transfers may not exceed total transfer rate. Transfer rate is agnostic to content of transmitted data, file formats, etc.
TIXstream enables maximum transfer speed in a tightly integrated end-to-end (file system to file system) workflow chain.
Connectivity
- TIXEL Product Description (PDF).
TIXEL products use industry standard interfaces to access network, storage, and video equipment. 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 1 GE are used for connecting local and wide area networks.
TIXstream accesses file systems like Stor Next® and CXFS™ for Storage Area Networks (SANs) as well as XFS, ext4, ext3, and ext2 for Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Network Attached Storage (NAS) is supported via Network File System (NFS). Storage systems can also be connected via Fibre Channel.
Standard single or dual link HDSDI is used for real-time video play-out.
A platform independent, intuitive web-based GUI is available as well as an industry standard SOAP interface for SOA integration. TIXstream can also be controlled via a command line interface (CLI) e. g. for use over SSH.
