PSSI Increases Investments In Appear Video Transmission Technology

PSSI Global Services, a world leader in broadcast transmission solutions, has made another significant investment in state-of-the-art video delivery technology, purchasing a large complement of advanced transmission hardware from Appear, a global leader in media processing and delivery technology.

This strategic acquisition includes multiple X20 chassis, HDR HEVC encoder and decoder cards, and multiple hardware-accelerated SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) cards, representing a notable expansion of PSSI’s IP and HEVC infrastructure. In addition, PSSI has procured corresponding BISS-CA addressable encryption licenses, enabling robust, secure, and scalable content protection for high-value live broadcasts.

The newly acquired Appear equipment will play a central role in supporting upcoming major live events, including the FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA World Cup. The company is also designing and engineering new multi-path field transmission kits, built around the Appear X Platform, to enhance remote production capabilities for top-tier sports entertainment clients such as UFC, WWE, and FOX Sports.

This latest investment marks a major step forward in PSSI’s continuing evolution toward next generation workflows, reinforcing its position at the forefront of live event production and transmission services.
