Customer Story · Satellite to SRT Live Production
World Archery centralised its global live production at its Lausanne Excellence Centre with Appear’s X Platform and SRT — streaming from venues worldwide to 15+ distribution partners with full control, improved quality and an 18-month payback.
What stood in the way
