Haivision's Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) streaming protocol is designed to provide reliable and secure end-to-end transport between two SRT-enabled devices (such as Makito X Series encoders and decoders) over a link which traverses the public Internet. For more information, see (1.1) Secure Reliable Transport (SRT).
To create an SRT connection:
-
Make sure the encoder and decoder are accessible from the public Internet by appropriate configuration of any firewalls.
-
Follow the steps in (1.1) Setting Up Streams to set up the SRT stream.
-
On the Stream Detail View, select TS over SRT for the Protocol.
-
Fill out the Destination and SRT Settings sections.
-
Fill out the SRT Access Control section.
-
To configure redundant transport paths for the SRT stream, select Active-Active or Active-Backup for Path Redundancy and fill in the Destination Parameters for each path. See (1.1) Configuring SRT Path Redundancy.
-
To assign a Stream Publishing ID, toggle SRT Access Control on and fill in the parameters. See (1.1) Configuring SRT Access Control.
-
Click Create to start the stream connection.
-
Once you establish the SRT stream, check the statistics and make adjustments to fine-tune the stream. On the Streams tab, click the Statistics icon
-
To view the detailed statistics page, click the Detailed Statistics button.
-
Monitor the link statistics to see if the link is over-subscribed (and adjust the video encoder bitrate if it is).
For example, use the Max Bandwidth and (Buffering) Latency values to set the encoder bitrates appropriately.
