Broadcast transmission solutions company PSSI has selected technology from Appear as it prepares for this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
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, said Appear.
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.
“Whether over satellite, fibre or IP, this investment in Appear technology reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class broadcast transmission solutions for the most prominent live events around the world,” said Derek Blount, CEO of PSSI.
“Appear’s high-performance X Platform gives us the flexibility and scalability to meet the needs of our partners, from regional sports productions to the most complex international broadcasts.”
The FIFA Club World Cup, which is taking place in the United States, kicks off on 15th June with media rights held by DAZN.
