The company’s appearance at IBC2019 certainly underlines the rapid nature of its recent progress. The latest developments include differentiating virtualised IP media edge solutions powered by the container-based V-Stack Software Hypervisor for ultra-low latency media functions, as well as a number of new live broadcast capabilities available in the Aperi App Store.

For instance, newly launched is a multi-format auto-sensing DVB-ASI or SDI to IP gateway function app that delivers standards-based encapsulation of ST 2022-2 and ST 2022-6 flows in an auto-sensing fashion. This allows a variety of content to play directly into IP-based workflows.

Surveying a busy IBC2019 stand, Janssen confirmed that “more and more people are becoming comfortable with moving into a virtualised environment… [the technology behind it] has been well-proven.” In particular, there is a growing awareness of the flexibility it can bring to the fast-paced world of sports contribution, which continues to be a primary market for Aperi.
