Colorfront, the Academy, Emmy and HPA Award-winning developer of high-performance dailies and transcoding systems for motion pictures, broadcast, OTT and commercials – has joined the SRT Alliance, a collaborative community of industry leaders and developers striving to achieve high-quality, lower-latency internet video transport. As an active member of the SRT Alliance, this move also supports Colorfront’s strategy to deliver robust and reliable robust remote workflows for its motion picture and high-end TV clients who are increasingly adopting internet and cloud-based production and post-production operations.

Colorfront uses SRT within its brand new Colorfront Streaming Server, a cost-effective, live-streaming appliance that delivers color fidelity and real-time performance for remote motion picture and high-end TV workflows. Using the public internet, Colorfront Streaming Server users can live-stream color and frame-accurate footage, in reference quality 4K HDR from third-party grading, editorial and VFX applications – such as Blackmagic Resolve, FilmLight Baselight, Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Apple Final Cut and Autodesk Flame – to multiple clients simultaneously anywhere in the world.

“Remote and cloud-based workflows have become increasingly popular among our global base of production and post-production clients,” said Aron Jaszberenyi, managing director of Colorfront. “The SRT protocol has proven an astounding platform to incorporate into Colorfront Streaming Server. We are delighted to join the SRT Alliance and look forward to playing our part in further developing SRT as an open-source video transport protocol that delivers even higher performance in a secure and reliable way across the public internet.”
