World Archery’s In-House Production Revolution

In this masterclass, World Archery’s Chris Wells and Appear’s Kai Bechtold reveal how the federation took control of its live coverage by bringing production entirely in-house via an innovative IP workflow using Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) and Appear’s X Platform. Discover how this shift to a fully in-house model delivered consistently high-quality streams and expanded World Archery’s global reach—streaming from venues worldwide to a central hub and out to 15+ broadcast and online partners with predictable quality. They will share how regaining full control over content delivery slashed operational costs (achieving an ROI in just 18 months) and sparked a new standard for cost-efficient, high-quality live event coverage . This session highlights a game-changing approach that any sports broadcaster, league or federation can leverage to boost coverage, cut costs, and engage fans with greater control and confidence.
