The SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol is celebrating five years of industry adoption for ultra-low latency video transport.

«In just five short years SRT has disrupted the way that the world is streaming video», – commented Pablo Hesse, VP of Strategic Initiatives at Haivision. – With over 550 vendors joining the SRT Alliance across every aspect of video streaming, SRT has grown to become the gold standard that global streaming companies trust for their complete broadcast workflows».

Haivision originally developed SRT in 2013 to enable simple low latency video connectivity over the public internet between its products, specifically the Makito ultra-low latency series of video encoders and decoders. Since making the technology freely available in 2017 for live video transport over the public internet for production, remote contribution, and distribution, SRT is now used across every element in broadcast and streaming workflows to provide low-latency, secure video transport.
