“Delivering 270 channels in premium quality requires an enormous amount of bandwidth, robust live transcoding and computing power. We chose Appear not only because of its industry-leading technology, but because it offers a partnership that supports our complex technical considerations and needs. The Appear X Platform was the most compact, energy efficient, and powerful transcoding platform we surveyed, making it an efficient, sustainable and cost-effective option for us. With the X Platform, we’re able to meet growing demands from our expanding subscriber base without faulting on the quality of experience we deliver.”
