Pearl Mini User Guide
Set up an SRT stream using caller and listener modes
l
The public IP address of the firewall. An easy way to get the public IP address is to use a web
browser and do a Google search for "
What is my IP address
" (e.g. 168.112.1.1).
l
The IT administrator in charge of the firewall must open a port for the SRT stream (e.g. port 2000).
The port must allow 2-way traffic and route the traffic to the internal IP address and SRT port of
Destination B. In this example, traffic received at the firewall's public IP address 168.112.1.1 on SRT
port 2000 is routed to 203.0.113.10:3000.
When you're configuring an SRT stream on Pearl Mini, you can also adjust the recovery bandwidth
overhead using the Admin panel. This setting defines how much of the stream's total bandwidth is
dedicated for the exchange of SRT control and recovery packets between the source and destination.
Ensure that the total SRT stream bitrate (i.e. the bandwidth required for the stream plus the recovery
bandwidth overhead) is less than the network bandwidth you have available.

encryption. These settings must match the encryption settings of the destination device, see
AES encryption and a passphrase for SRT
.
8. (Optional) If the SRT destination has a required security
Passphrase
along with the AES encryption,
you can enter that here.
