Appear TV Joins TICO Alliance, Increasing the Alliance Membership Total to 42.
IBC 2017 – AMSTERDAM — September 15, 2017 — The TICO Alliance today announced that Appear TV - world class designer of equipment for delivery of professional video services - has joined the TICO Alliance to support interoperability for Broadcast IP migration.
“Appear TV is proud to adopt the TICO codec and join the growing TICO Alliance. Adding TICO lightweight compression to the Appear TV X10 and X20 product range will allow premium quality UHD transport over 10G IP networks or legacy 3G-SDI links with a minimum of latency. IP production enables studio grade signals to be easily routed between both local and remote locations. As a purpose-built HW solution specifically designed for IP transport, the synergies of TICO compression and the capacity of the X platform optimizes network bandwidth usage while upholding video quality at a premium level.”
At IBC 2017, TICO Alliance solutions meet the increasing demand for higher resolutions such as 4K and 8K and play a vital role in accelerating the SDI to IP industry migration.
“The mission of the TICO Alliance is to provide an interoperable, bandwidth efficient and cost-effective way to manage HD, 4K and 8K in the new Live IP-based production workflows. Moving from SDI to IP, the Broadcast industry is becoming aware of the benefits created by interoperability and bandwidth efficient IP infrastructures,” said Jean-Baptiste Lorent, chairman of the TICO Alliance. “We look forward to working with Appear TV to capitalize on their vast experience in IP connectivity.”
