How does it work?
Our solution provides the most efficient, flexible, and cost-effective way to deliver video content. By integrating SRT support through a plug-in module, we enable seamless primary distribution over the internet alongside other traditional methods.
Challenges
Connecting facilities on an all-IP network infrastructure is becoming standard, but the shift from coax SDI to IP-based 2110 is a significant investment, often taking years to complete. Low latency is essential for live interactions between studio or facilities, and as video resolutions progress to 4K and 8K, bandwidth limitations on WAN networks become more challenging. Consequently, video compression is often necessary, as long as it does not introduce unacceptable delays.
Solution
Appear’s X Platform addresses WAN challenges with support for video over 2110 and SDI coax, combined with full PTP support. It enables uncompressed video and light compression with sub-frame delay, supports NMOS for orchestration, and provides 10G video firewalling with minimal delay. Additionally, the platform offers ultra-low latency HEVC compression, ensuring seamless, high-quality video transmission and optimised performance across all-IP networks.
Results
By implementing Appear’s solution, media facilities overcome the challenges of transitioning to an all-IP network infrastructure. Appear’s efficient, flexible, and cost-effective X Platform enable seamless interconnectivity with ultra-low latency, light compression, and robust video firewalling. This approach ensures high-quality video transmission and future-proofs operations, allowing for a smoother upgrade from SDI to IP-based 2110 infrastructure, ultimately enhancing performance, scalability, and overall operational efficiency.
