Broadcast Sport podcast – New episode with Appear

For the latest episode of the Broadcast Sport podcast, Broadcast Sport editorial director Jake Bickerton is joined by Appear VP, tech and innovation, Ian Wagdin, to talk about what Appear does and how it’s working to simplify current and future workflows for sports production.

The company provides a range of products (the X20, X10 and X5) that take camera feeds from location and transfer them to remote production hubs securely, reliably and with very low latency. They also provide content distribution workflows, for satellite replacement.

Appear’s clients range from top-tier sports for its X20, which works with a huge number of camera feeds, to lower tier sports with its X5, which provides the same reliability and workflows of tier one sports to more modest setups.

The company also enables software-based workflows, for on-prem or cloud compute, through its VX software.

In this podcast, Wagdin clearly explains Appear’s range of products and solutions for sports production, whether hardware, software-defined or hybrid workflows. He also talks about the sustainable nature of the way Appear works and manufactures its products.

The podcast is a useful overview of the company’s tech innovations in sports production and broadcasting, what they mean for the industry, and what’s next for Appear.
