SRT stands for Secure Reliable Transport. It’s a video streaming protocol designed to deliver high-quality video with minimal latency, even over long distances. Whether you’re conducting an interview from another city, showcasing a live cooking demo, or participating in a remote panel discussion, SRT ensures your video is clear and stable.
In my tests, we were able to send video across the US at rates as low as 63 ms. This can keep a conversation on track as they won’t be tripping over talk back.
Setting up SRT on the OBSBOT Tail Air is straightforward, but it does require some initial configuration. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
Listener and Caller modes are how the camera sends video. Keep in mind, it’s only a one-way protocol, so you’ll need something like Zoom to see yourself (although it will be delayed).
Imagine conducting an interview with someone on the other side of the country. With SRT, you can ensure that the video quality is top-notch and that there’s minimal delay, making the conversation flow smoothly.
Cover live events like concerts, sports, or conferences. The low latency and high-quality video ensure that your audience doesn’t miss a moment.
For sensitive broadcasts, such as corporate meetings or confidential interviews, the encryption feature of SRT ensures that your video feed remains secure and private.
The SRT protocol just got out of beta. I did have some issues with H.264 vs H.265 modes. The cross-country video worked really well and I was seeing results as low as 63 ms.
I like the fact you can still record to the unit while you are sending signal. If post-processing is done to a video, you could replace the faulty video with the recording.
SRT does not work on Cellular – only a WiFi signal. I am still testing if it’s better to be using the wired connection (OBSBOT USB to PoE Ethernet cable). I’ll know when I use this out at a show.
You saw some choppiness in my video. I was sending to my vMix on an Intel NUC SkullCanyon with Gen 9 Core i7 processor. I was running through H.264 so you can see what it looks like.
I feel these issues will get fixed rather quick now that SRT is available to all.
The OBSBOT Tail Air’s SRT protocol has been released as an update. You can update the OBSBOT Go App from iOS or Android.
