Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)
Haivision’s Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) technology is available on Makito
X
Series
encoders and decoders. The SRT streaming protocol is designed to provide reliable and
secure end-to-end transport between two SRT-enabled devices over a link which traverses
the public Internet. SRT optimizes video streaming performance across unpredictable
networks, recovering from packet loss, jitter, network congestion and bandwidth fluctua-
tions that can severely affect the viewing experience.
SRT is applied to contribution and distribution endpoints as part of a video stream
workflow. After encoding (or transcoding), SRT applies encryption and provides error
recovery. Prior to decoding (or transcoding), SRT decrypts the stream and enables recovery
from packet loss typical of Internet connections. At the same time, SRT detects the real-
time network performance between the encode / decode / transcode endpoints. The
endpoints can be dynamically adjusted for optimal stream performance and quality.
