Fox Sports has selected Appear's media processing and gateway platform to support its remote production (REMI), live events, and large-scale IP workflows. The deployment will refresh existing infrastructure and establish a new standards-based workflow using SMPTE ST 2110 and JPEG XS for events including the 2026 World Cup. The rollout utilizes Appear's X Platform to provide a common technology foundation for both constrained and high-bandwidth contribution environments.
This move signals Fox Sports' shift from disparate legacy systems to a unified, IP-based platform for all tiers of live production. Choosing a single platform that handles both JPEG XS and HEVC/SRT is a pragmatic approach to the reality of variable network connectivity across venues. By creating a common hardware and software foundation for REMI, mobile units, and its highest-profile broadcasts, Fox can increase operational efficiency across its sports properties. Watch how the infrastructure is redeployed for domestic NFL and MLB coverage post-2026, as this will test the long-term value and flexibility of the ST 2110 investment.
