Media Event Online: SRT - a protocol as a problem solver?!

Justus Rogmann SRT Solutions Architect | Haivision IT and Services

Video streaming has become an everyday tool for many of us, whether in our private or professional lives. However, the use of streaming is often limited to use cases that do not have critical latency requirements. When it comes to bi-directional communication or contribution to the studio with a return channel to the source, people often still rely on a video conferencing system, with conscious acceptance of degraded video quality. The alternative - low latency video streaming - often fails due to unreliable networks or the Internet per se. The Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol has addressed this very challenge and has established itself in a variety of workflows. Since it became available as an open source library, more than 450 manufacturers worldwide have implemented it in their devices and software solutions.

In his presentation, Justus Rogmann will explain how the protocol is structured, what it is capable of and where the limits of the use cases lie. Besides the basics, there will also be a focus on the handling of SRT connections from the user's point of view. For those familiar with the protocol, there will be a summary of last year's innovations, such as the long-awaited redundancy modes or the Stream-ID feature, which enables ways of working that people were used to with the RTMP protocol.
