A

ppear TV is demonstrating three
new modules for the X10/X20
Ultra-High-Speed Video Networking
hardware platform.
The expanded system positions the
company as an expert within the new
high-speed, IP centric architectures
that broadcasters are quickly shifting
towards. Appear TV will also feature
its (Adaptive Bitrate) ABR system for
OTT at the show.
The new modular X10 and X20
platforms help broadcasters adopt
the many benefits of IP centric
operation, in their own time and with
ease. The platforms offer options with
modules that easily

modules

alternate between SDI and IP in either
the compressed, uncompressed or
lightly-compressed domain. Featuring
core IP security as a firewall, video
monitoring, video routing and video
re-multiplexing, the X10 and X20
operates as the key building blocks
of an ultra-flexible, ultra-low delay,
highly secured broadcast network.
Being codec agnostic, it bridges
both the natively encapsulated and
MPEG_TS worlds. The three processing
modules currently available allow
users to customise a package to
meet specific requirements. The new
modules include a high-speed IP card

that delivers both compressed and
uncompressed video, a high-density
SDI card and a scrambling card for
operations that require secure content
delivery.
New modules for the X10/X20
platform:
*	 The IP Card features dualredundant 10Gbps IP I/O, GUIconfigurable
bidirectional
or
unidirectional data ports, seamless
input switching and cloned outputs. It
supports 10G uncompressed SDI over
IP and up to 6Gbps MPEG transport
stream processing (de-muxing and
re-muxing);

*	 The High-Density SDI Card
offers eight 3Gbps serial digital
video interfaces per module with
each supporting up to one 1080p60
service, on-board SDI-to-IP and IP-toSDI conversion according to SMPTE
2022/6 and 2022/7;
*	 The
Simulcrypt-compliant
Scrambling Card supports scrambling
of up to 2,000 services at data rates
of up to 6Gbps and supports DVB-CSA
and AES encryption with a dedicated
Simulcrypt interface towards CA
servers.
Also on display at the Appear TV
booth will be the company's ABR
packager. OTT delivery provides a
solution to distribute over unmanaged
IP networks to viewing devices, such
as tablets, smartphones, computers
and gaming consoles. Appear TV
offers an extensive portfolio of OTT
solutions, with the ability to support
hybrid broadcast delivery from the
same equipment.
The Appear TV ABR system is a
modular software solution providing a
powerful video segmentation engine,
high-performance storage solution,
just-in-time packager/DRM engine,
origin server and optional offline
encoding/transcoding in one complete
suite.
