Configuring Input Side of SRT Transmission
When you wish to configure SRT for use, select the Input Stream Type item called
SRT, as you can see in Figure 57. Before configuring the IP address and IP port,
select whether you intend to use Caller/Listener mode. This directly impacts what
IP you need to provide.
Figure 129. Configuring SRT Input Source
When you select SRT mode:
• Listener – IP:port of the same machine where the data is being received
(listened to) from an external source
• Caller – IP:port of the remote machine from where the data will be sent
It is necessary to define the SRT latency variable in milliseconds (ms). The
parameter is the time of intended delay of network packets (a buffer) that is
allowed for the connection to slow down the data in transmission in order to
provide a time slot to re-send lost UDP packets if they occur. This is what allows
SRT protocol to establish a reliable connection with the focus on removing video
disruptions.
Choosing the Program Number
When you wish to choose which program to use, you need to enable the Program
number configuration in Input stream configuration options. Once allowed,
you can select the program number from a drop-down menu. Current program
informs about the current configuration, while Configured program has to
be applied first in order to take effect. If you do not set up anything, the first
program in the list is selected. If a Configured program number is not present in
the stream, BRIDGE LIVE reports an error. Once you change the program number
and apply the configuration, video with another PID is detected (if present).

Output SDI
You can send an output stream from BRIDGE LIVE using uncompressed SDI.
To configure the SDI output, set the Stream type to SDI first, then select the
correct SDI device and Port that you want to use.
