Cingularity became the first to deploy the compact Appear X5 internationally — delivering broadcast-grade, low-latency HEVC contribution from DP World Tour golf venues back to London.
Customer Story · Flyaway REMI Contribution
Cingularity became the first company to deploy Appear’s compact X5 internationally — contributing HEVC video from DP World Tour golf tournaments back to IMG’s Stockley Park studio in London, with broadcast-grade reliability and ultra-low latency in a fraction of the space and power.
What the workflow had to handle
The compact X5 brought the proven performance of Appear’s X Platform into a flight case, giving Cingularity broadcast-grade contribution from any DP World Tour venue.
The X5 extends the core strengths of the X Platform into a small, power-efficient unit built for the venue edge, flypacks and mobile rigs — ideal for flyaway golf coverage.
Excellent picture quality and low latency at low bitrates let Cingularity maximise limited venue connectivity and do more with less across the tour.
Sharing the trusted model of the X10 and X20, the X5 standardised workflows and cut vendor complexity — same way of working, from venue to Stockley Park.

The compact X5 gave Cingularity broadcast-grade contribution in a flight case — the proven X Platform, sized for flyaway golf coverage.
Tier-1 contribution from the venue edge in a small, power-efficient flypack.
First X5 deployed internationally
Excellent picture quality and low latency at low bitrates, maximising limited connectivity.
Do more with less
One operational model shared with the X10 and X20, standardising workflows venue to venue.
Same way of working
X5 gives us the best of both worlds: the proven performance of Appear’s X Platform and a compact solution that makes far more sense for flyaway contribution. For global event workflows like the DP World Tour, that means smaller, more efficient kits, faster deployment and the confidence that we can deliver low-latency, broadcast-grade contribution from venue to venue.
See how Appear’s X Platform brings high density, low latency and end-to-end resilience to next-generation live production.
