THE SRT STORY
Born from the need to reduce the high cost of contribution by satellite and private networks, SRT was publicly demonstrated for the first time at IBC 2013. As the technology progressed, Haivision released SRT as part of its product family and customers started to enjoy the benefits of high-quality, low latency secure video over unreliable public networks, including the internet.
To encourage widespread adoption so that more companies and customers could benefit from this exciting technology, Haivision released SRT on GitHub in 2017 as an open source technology stack and protocol.
