Glass-to-Glass Delivery with SRT: The Softvelum Way

Until Haivision brought the SRT video streaming protocol open-source in 2017, reliable delivery over UDP was only available through proprietary, or royalty-free solutions. Since then, the technology has been rapidly adopted by industry leaders, many of which are now members of the SRT Alliance. One of the results of SRT’s surge in popularity has been that the protocol is being used in lieu of traditional protocols in many use cases. In some of these cases, SRT can replace these protocols [...]

It’s not often that marketing eye candy is deeply technical, but when it comes to multi-camera color shading for live sports, waveform vectorscope via browser with a mere frame of latency takes the cake! And that’s exactly what 14,000 attendees at IBC Show saw last month in Hall 1’s corner booth, where Bridge Technologies showed off their exceptionally low latency audio and video monitoring and analytics toolsets.

As a result, live and on-demand streaming platforms that bypass traditional distribution are on the rise and, with over 200 services, to choose from in the US alone, competition for viewers is fierce. Just recently, in its Digital [...]
