IP-Centric Broadcast Operations Get Boost from Appear TV's X-Series
Appear TV, a leading provider of video processing platforms for broadcast and streaming high-quality video, has unveiled its X-Series platform at IBC. The X10 and X20 platforms offer a programmable option with modules that easily alternate between SDI and IP in either the compressed or lightly-compressed domain.
The modularity of these platforms further demonstrates Appear's commitment to easing the transition to IP while supporting both current and future compression needs. The three processing modules, which can be customized and packaged to meet specific requirements, include: a high-speed IP card that delivers both compressed and uncompressed video, a high-density SDI card and a scrambling card for operations that require secure content delivery.
X-Series Platforms Offer Flexibility and Security
The X10 and X20 platforms operate as the key building blocks of an ultra-flexible, ultra-low delay, highly secured broadcast network. Featuring core IP security as a firewall, video monitoring, video routing and video re-multiplexing, these platforms are ideal for connecting a local legacy SDI network to a new high-capacity IP infrastructure.
According to Carl Walter Holst, CEO of Appear TV, the X10/X20 platforms are designed to transport video from content generation to end viewers. He notes that
