SRT: Cross Line. Power Feature for Remote Production.

michael@garaninapps.com — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:45:53 +0000

For each Lines inside SRTMiniServer you can setup “Cross Line”.

For example: for Line #1 I selected Line #3 as “Cross Line”. So signal from Line#3 will be re-stream to encoder connected to Line #1.

For SRT Streamer we added button “Studio Player” for view feedback signal.

SRT: direct connection from Internet

michael@garaninapps.com — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:52:37 +0000

If you have not public IP or have not ability for port-forwarding then please use other way – ProxyAddon

for accept direct connections from INTERNET (for example from stadium or other country) please check this points:

Your “Studio” has public IP.
we provide dynamic DNS name like “demo123.rtmpminiserver.com” . It will be auto linked to this IP.
Router has configuration: all incoming connections from Internet to port 9001 of router transfer to PC with SRT MiniServer
without this rule your router doesn’t known how handle UDP traffic to 9001 port. This called “”Port Forwarding” or “”Virtual Servers”.

router should known how to handle incoming connections

Examples

Example A: you install SRT MiniServer on PC with local ip 192.168.1.5 and setup Listen port as 9001.
So you need setup port forwarding for router: inbound UDP connection to 9001 port send to 192.168.1.5:9001.

Example B: you install SRT MiniServer on PC with local ip 192.168.1.5 and setup Listen port as 7777.
So you need setup port forwarding for router: inbound UDP connection to 1935 port send to 192.168.1.5:7777.

Many routers called this feature as “Port Forwarding” or “Virtual Servers”.

SRT Proxy Addon

SRT ProxyAddon is easy way for accept signal in Studio from Location.
It does not require dedicated IP and port-forwarding manipulation.
Just click and use.

run SRT MiniServer and press START
Click ProxyAddon icon. It opens “SRT Proxy Addon” window.
press “Connect” for get public address. Use this as SRT URL.

So for this image stream parameters for Line #4 is:

Server URL: srt://amst.garaninapps.com:20396
Stream ID: streamkey4WQS

NOTES: SRT ProxyAddon is easy way, but usage of dedicated IP is still preferred way for big studio and heavy traffic.
