A1 Croatia had chosen Appear’s NEO Series for server-based live channel encoding and distribution.
Commenting on the development, Vedran Krhac, head of TV and video services, A1 Croatia, said: “Migrating to all-IP OTT distribution, Appear’s server-based NEO Series was the ideal fit for our live channel encoding and distribution.
“The NEO Series’ ease of integration, cost efficiency, and scalability means we can more effectively manage the transcoding and delivery of our live channels to our customers, while significantly reducing shipping and energy costs. Appear’s support team made the consultancy, initial installation and ongoing monitoring a seamless process”.
Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO at Appear, added: “We’re seeing more customers migrating away from the cloud when it comes to always-on, processing-hungry applications like ABR transcoding, due to the cost and resource efficiencies a server-based solution brings.
“Our NEO Series offers a seamless integration and easy future upgrade path, giving A1 Croatia the flexibility and stability needed to deliver its hundreds of live channels back on-premise. We look forward to working with them to help simplify their deployments and operations and reduce overall TCO”.
