Appear Explains MXL for Efficient Media Movement in Live Workflows | IBC2025
At IBC2025, Ian Wagdin from Appear discusses MXL and its impact on the future of live production workflows. MXL allows media to move between applications without recompression or complex transport layers like SRT, cutting latency and CPU usage while preserving full quality.
He also explains how MXL helps reduce vendor lock-in by enabling broadcasters and production teams to build best-of-breed workflows. Appear’s VX platform plays a central role, acting as an IP gateway and supporting dynamic, software-based workflows in the cloud.
