The following settings are available:
Stream Type
Listener: Listen on the specified Port on all network adapters on the computer for connections. Hostname
is ignored.
Caller: Connect to the specified Hostname and Port.
Rendezvous: Connect to the specified Hostname and Port. The other side must also be set to Rendezvous
with an identical port number specified.
This mode allows connecting through most firewalls automatically.
Latency
Specify the latency of the connection in milliseconds to adapt to network congestion.
The higher this value, the better SRT can handle difficult network conditions.
As a general rule this should be set to at least 4x the ping time destination IP. So 20ms would require a
latency setting of at least 80
This must be set to the same value on both ends.
Decoder Delay
Some encoders may not send evenly spaced frames, also known as jitter.
Encoders may also send audio long before or after the associated video frame.
To compensate for this, a Decoder Delay can be configured to allow for any potential jitter on the encoder
side.
For example if frames may arrive 100ms apart, set the decoder delay here to at least 150.
Passphrase
Specify a password to encrypt the connection. This password must be used by both sides for the
connection to be established.
Stream ID
Optional Stream ID that may be required by your streaming provider to uniquely identify the stream.
Use Hardware Decoder
Use accelerated decoding where available on the graphics card. The majority of modern graphics cards
support both H264 and HEVC hardware decoding.
vMix will fall back to CPU decoding where available.
MultiCorder Recordings
Due to SRT using an already compressed video stream (in Transport Stream .ts format)
