Appear X10 is a 1RU modular X Platform chassis designed for high-density contribution and distribution in a compact form factor. It is best suited to customers who need X Platform functionality in smaller rack spaces, edge sites, remote production environments, or gateway-focused deployments.

X10 supports up to 6 rear-mounted option boards and uses the same overall module family and software model as X20, with some differences in the control/switch module. That lets customers scale within the same platform without changing the operational model.

The main difference is size and scale: X10 is 1RU with up to 6 slots, while X20 is 2RU with up to 12 slots. X10 is the more compact chassis for dense edge deployments, while X20 is the larger platform for higher-scale centralization.

Yes. X10 is part of the broader X Platform architecture, so it can support combinations of encoding, decoding, SRT gateway, ASI/IP, satellite, TS processing, and security modules depending on configuration. Appear positions this as one of the core advantages of the platform.

Broadcasters choose X10 when they need modularity, density, and resilience in a compact 1RU footprint. Appear also positions X10 as a strong fit for flypacks, REMI edge sites, smaller event deployments, and high-density SRT gateway use cases.
