Eurovision Services serves up Appear X Platform for live contribution of Paris tennis tournament

Appear has been selected by Eurovision Services as a live contribution partner for a major tennis tournament held in Paris. Eurovision Services deployed Appear’s X Platform to deliver live 1080p HD channels during the competition, capturing action from the tennis courts and press conference interviews.

Appear’s X Platform offered a power, space and operationally efficient contribution solution. Just two Appear X10 units were needed to deliver Eurovision Services’ live HD channels from the tournament in France, limiting energy consumption and saving on shipping costs and power usage while minimising on-site production space – without compromising on quality or latency. The density and flexibility of the X Platform enabled Eurovision Services to encode and deliver its live feeds while scaling to meet increased volumes of camera feeds.

Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO, Appear, said: “We’re proud to have been entrusted by Eurovision Services to provide live contribution feeds for this prestigious tennis tournament, which includes multi-codec support, firewalling and SRT-capable compression technology. The power and efficiency of the X Platform means it’s continually ranked top of the industry when it comes to density, format options and breadth of security. We look forward to continuing our work with Eurovision Services and supporting more of the world’s most-loved live sporting events.”
