Secure Reliable Transport has several distinct advantages:
- Protect against jitter, packet loss and bandwidth fluctuation
- Low Latency
- End-to-end 128/256 bit AES encryption
Essentially, SRT wraps a UDP stream with the protocol to allow for more consistent streaming experience.
In Teradek Encoders, there are two connection types.
- Connection Type (Listener) allows clients to initiate a connection.
- Connection Type (Caller) video is sent to a destination. This enables the start-and-stop stream option.
Both modes have the following variables:
- Host (Listener Disabled/Caller Enabled) - Your destination IP or domain address.
- Port (Default 9710) - Port at which data is sent or pulled from. These ports must be open (outgoing or incoming) on your network for data to flow properly
- Passphrase - The key that is used to encrypt your stream. Use this phrase in the decoder side as well.
- Encryption key size - Allows a preset selection of key size. This variable must match at the receiving end.
- Latency (Default 500) - How much delay is in the stream.
Requirements for Network in Utilizing SRT (from SRT Alliance Guide)
- The SRT source device must “know” the public IP address of the firewall, and the port number on which the SRT destination device is “listening”.
- The firewall must allow the specific destination port used by SRT to be accessible from the Internet.
- The firewall must allow bi-directional UDP traffic.
- Port forwarding must be enabled on the firewall to allow data to flow to the IP address and port of the SRT destination device.
- Packet filtering must be disabled (to allow the SRT packets to pass through).
