Haivision, global provider of real-time video streaming and networking solutions, has announced at the 2022 NAB Show that the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol is celebrating five years of industry adoption for ultra-low latency video transport and the SRT Alliance has garnered the support of over 550 solution and service providers.

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.

“In just five short years SRT has disrupted the way that the world is streaming video,” said Pablo Hesse, VP of Strategic Initiatives, 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.”
