## SRT is now the most widely used transport protocol

Appear’s X5, X10, and X20 hardware platforms provide a seamless, resilient and low-latency high-quality streaming workflow for news, sports, and live event coverage, and are now compatible with YouTube for SRT ingest. This offers media organizations, rights holders, and federations a seamless, high-performance solution for live contribution to YouTube.

#### Appear Hardware accelerated SRT

SRT solutions have historically been provided through servers. This approach to SRT transport worked when moving one channel or covering a live event with a small number of cameras. However, due to the cost-savings of the public internet and the simplicity of operation of SRT, the potential use cases for the SRT protocol widened. It became apparent to Appear that media and entertainment companies needed SRT support in robust, high-density, flexible carrier-grade solutions that interoperate with existing broadcast workflows.

To facilitate these advanced use cases, Appear developed its hardware-accelerated SRT solution for the X Platform.
