PSSI Secures Video Transmission Tech from Appear in Recent Acquisition
LAS VEGAS'S PSSI GLOBAL SERVICES UPS GAME WITH NEW APPEAR TECH
PSSI Global Services is punching up its video delivery technology game, having picked up some swanky new gear from Appear.
Sports fans can expect a smooth broadcast of upcoming major live events such as the FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA World Cup, thanks to PSSI's latest acquisitions: multiple X20 chassis, HDR HEVC encoder and decoder cards, plus a slew of hardware-accelerated SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) cards. All these add up to a significant boost to PSSI's IP and HEVC infrastructure.
Security meets performance with the procurement of corresponding BISS-CA addressable encryption licenses. Now, high-value live broadcasts can enjoy robust, secure content protection.
PSSI's new gear is set to be the star of upcoming major events, including the FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA World Cup. But that's not all — the company is also designing and engineering multi-path field transmission kits, based on Appear's X Platform, to beef up remote production capabilities for big-time clients like UFC, WWE, and Fox Sports.
Derek Blount, PSSI's CEO, puts it this way: "Whether we're broadcasting over satellite, fiber, or IP, we're invested in delivering top-notch broadcast transmission solutions for the world's biggest live events." Appear's high-performance X Platform gives PSSI the agility and extent to cater to the varied demands of its partners, from regional sports productions to the most intricate global broadcasts.
Ed McGivern, Appear's North America general manager, weighed in: "PSSI's technically-inclined staff leads the charge in Appear technology field use, and their proficiency in the tech strengthens our partnership. Together, we offer a powerful combination that benefits tech-forward customers in the live events industry."
