TBS Encoder SRT Configure
TBS Encoder SRT Configure
SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open source transport technology that optimizes streaming performance
across unpredictable networks, such as the Internet.
Currently, we already have some Encoders integrated SRT protocol. For example, TBS2603SE, TBS2603AU,
TBS2605, TBS2650.
As SRT is a new protocol, it’s may fresh to most users. The following, we’ll share you some examples about SRT
configuration.
For our Encoder, SRT is based on APP “srt-live-transmit ”. It has 3 working modes:
Caller, Listener, Rendezvous.
caller: the "agent" (this application) sends the connection request to the peer, which must be listener, and this
way it initiates the connection.
listener: the "agent" waits to be contacted by any peer caller. Note that a listener can accept multiple callers, but
srt-live-transmit does not use this ability; after the first connection, it no longer accepts new connections.
rendezvous: A one-to-one only connection where both parties are equivalent and both connect to one another
simultaneously. Whoever happened to start first (or succeeded to punch through the firewall) is meant to have
initiated the connection.

This is the most easiest way to test SRT.
2. Encoder + Vmix
For example, my PC (VLC is installed, IP=192.168.8.42); Encoder IP=192.168.8.44.
1>Vmix to Caller--Encoder to Listener:
Vmix configure: Launch Vmix-----Add Input-----Sream/SRT
Encoder configure:

2> Vmix sets to Listener—Encoder to Caller

If you’re testing on the public Internet, consider checking your firewall rules, and also IP & port is open in your
Router, make sure connection is reachable.

For example,
Encoder SRT pwd sets to “12345678abcdef@$”, 16 characters:
Another app which has tested working for SRT protocol is: OBS, Haivision Play Pro and Larix player.
Some customers may use our TBS2603SE as Encoder and then configure SRT out, add SRT stream to
Encoder/Decoder TBS2603AU to do decoding. That is possible.
For example, Encoder TBS2603SE IP=192.168.8.44; Decoder TBS2603AU IP=192.168.8.60.
TBS2603SE Encoder sets to Caller:

TBS2603AU Decoder sets to Listener:

This is some basic SRT configuration. More examples may be found from Internet which shared by someone
who’s experienced in SRT protocol.
This Manual is also suitable for TBS2603SE, TBS2603SE-NDI, TBS2605, TBS2605-NDI, TBS2603AU, TBS2650.
