LTN Keeps the Hits Coming and Adds SRT to its Hitless Video Network

In music, hitless is bad. In live video transport, so-called “hitless protection” for live event contribution and primary distribution is mission-critical. And it requires a network to deliver video signals across multiple paths while guaranteeing perfect synchronization on the other end without packet loss or delay. Doing that over the public internet in less than 200 milliseconds globally? It’s multi-platinum, to finish the record business analogy. And it’s precisely what LTN’s global network does. Why? How? And what’s next? I had [...]

MediaKind’s Tony Jones on SRT

When you talk to Tony Jones about cloud-native, microservices and Kubernetes, it’s easy to forget that he’s been at the leading-edge of video tech transformation since 1996, when he first joined Tandberg Television. I should know, since I joined Tandberg TV just after Ericsson acquired it and spent the next five years privileged to learn deep video tech from Tony and others.

I spoke with Stuart Newton, VP Strategy / Corporate [...]

SRT Open Source Protocol is Turning Two!

The Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) open source protocol is celebrating its two year anniversary!
