Production cameras that support SRT ? #28

Open gedw99 opened 1 year ago

Is SRT the way to get a remote crew streaming into the mixing room ?

Is it commonly supported in the video industry ?

Hi it's certainly a possibility. Some cameras like Panasonics AG-CX350 support SRT streaming out of the box and others could converted using a separate encoder. A low cost option would be kiloview I wouldn't speak of common support yet, but I would assume the next generation of handheld broadcast cameras to support it natively. I think the majority are already doing SRT in their remote controlled cameras.

(caveat: I am not in any way a professional, but I dug around on this a while back)

I've read some articles on major production outfits (ESPN et al) doing SRT for their stadium feeds, but I can't quite remember many details (I'm sure Haivision put out some high fives about it). NDI is also pretty widely supported (and NDI HX1/2/3 even has lower bandwidth requirements), though it doesn't have the same fault tolerance as SRT.

FWIW you can get a halfway nice feed from a phone with Larix or something - not professional but light years better than even 5-10 years ago.

This is useful info about larix.

Frame.io seem to making sone crappy propriety thing ?

I am looking for open standards and to build a universal sender and player.

muxer one looks interesting as an open source hardware solution ? Would love to hear any reviews on https://www.muxable.com/muxerone

trying to find out if cameras even have SRT and which ones is not easy. Pity there is not sone site which collates it all ?

I imagine the only real way to go is with a box connected to the camera with Wi-Fi / SIM cards etc . Feed hdmi into the box and the box streams it over srt to wherever ? decoupling via a mixer box like I describe is the only way to not get screwed in the keeping up with the jibes / standards race

This is a great write up about the Mux box from mutable.
