SRT forRemote Production
Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is a crucial technology for remote production, providing secure, low-latency video transmission over unpredictable networks like the internet. Developed by Haivision, SRT ensures high-quality, real-time video feeds through its advanced error correction and encryption features. This makes it ideal for live broadcasts, news coverage, and corporate events, allowing production teams to deliver seamless, professional content from remote locations without the need for expensive dedicated networks or satellite links. SRT’s adaptability with various hardware and software tools further enhances its value, making it a key enabler of efficient and reliable remote production workflows.

Our AV experts are here to help every step of the way — even if you’re not quite sure where to start.
Many PTZ cameras such as the PTZOptics Move SE and Move 4K include direct support for SRT. This allows users to send SRT video directly from their camera without the need for an additional encoder.
SRT Workflow
Capture and Encode
During this initial stage, video content is captured from cameras and other sources at the remote location. The captured feeds are then encoded using SRT-compatible encoders to prepare them for secure and efficient transmission over the internet. This step is crucial for ensuring that the video quality is preserved and ready for transport with minimal latency.
- Capture Feeds
- Encode Video
- Prepare for Transmission
Secure Transmission
Once the video feeds are encoded, they are transmitted over the internet using the SRT protocol. SRT’s encryption and error correction features ensure that the video streams are secure and reliable, maintaining high quality even over unstable network conditions. This stage focuses on the seamless and secure delivery of video content to the central production facility.
- Encrypt Data
- Error Correction
- Transmit Securely
Receive and Produce
At the central production facility, the incoming SRT streams are decoded and integrated into the production workflow. This includes switching between different video feeds, adding graphics, and mixing audio to create the final broadcast-ready content. The produced content can then be distributed to various platforms, ensuring a smooth and professional output for viewers.
- Decode Streams
- Integrate Workflow
- Produce Content
