Latin America. AJA Video Systems joined Secure Reliable Transport, SRT Alliance, an open source initiative dedicated to overcoming the challenges of low-latency video streaming.
An extension of AJA's mission to meet growing customer demand for secure and reliable video streaming channels across a host of industries, the announcement follows the recent launch of Bridge Live, a new multi-channel live video encoding, decoding, streaming and transcoding solution featuring support for SRT.
As a member of the SRT Alliance, AJA plans to continue exploring how it can enhance its streaming offerings for customers by integrating the latest evolutions that open source technology has to offer in AJA tools like Bridge Live.
Developed in partnership with Comprimato, Bridge Live offers a comprehensive platform for live video streaming to a variety of content delivery platforms with support for SRT and a host of other protocols. It builds on the proven production approach of AJA's HELO streaming device, while including flexible multi-channel HD inputs and outputs, UltraHD input and output, and encoding, decoding, and transcoding between codecs, including MPEG-TS, H.264, HEVC, and optional JPEG 2000 support, wide bitrate options, ABR with ladder profiles, full metadata and content redundancy.
The device also allows simultaneous encoding/decoding to/from SDI. While streaming to CDN for direct delivery to the audience, Bridge Live can also deliver different protocols and streaming packets with ad markers, closed captions to partners for remote workflows, backtracking signals, OTT, transcoding, and more.
The SRT Alliance, founded by Haivision in April 2017, is focused on overcoming the challenges of low-latency live streaming by supporting the collaborative development of the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol. SRT is an open-source video transport protocol and technology stack originally developed by Haivision that enables the delivery of high-quality, secure, low-latency video over the public Internet. With over 400 members in the SRT Alliance and widespread industry adoption, SRT is the fastest growing open source streaming project.
