Real-time video networking and visual collaboration product maker Haivision was at IBC2022. There, it shared its newest developments for the SRT open-source video streaming protocol.


At IBC2022, Haivision announced the release of SRT 1.5, with new features “to meet the rapidly growing need for decentralized remote workflows.”

The company also announced that Canon has joined the SRT Alliance, a collaborative community of over 575 broadcast industry leaders and developers striving to achieve lower latency video transport over the internet by continuously improving the SRT transport protocol and technology stack.

Canon will leverage SRT “to enhance the interoperability of its video broadcast equipment, devices, and cloud services, which are widely used for streaming and live broadcasting, and make content distribution more convenient for its customers,” Haivision Systems said.

“With the increasing demand for remote production, there is a growing need for efficient, high-quality, low latency delivery in network workflows,” said Hiroto Okawara, Unit Executive for the Image Solutions Business Unit at Canon Inc. “By joining the SRT Alliance and strengthening our systems by linking SRT protocol-compliant devices and cloud services with Canon’s video equipment, we believe we can respond to customer needs in creating and delivering low latency, high-quality, and secure images.”

Originally developed by Haivision, SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) optimizes real-time streaming across unpredictable networks. The new features implemented in SRT 1.5 are designed to enhance the transport of live video over the public internet and improve decentralized workflows for broadcast production, remote contribution, and content distribution.

Haivision also used its presence at IBC2022 to introduce new features to its low latency end-to-end 5G remote production products designed for live, multi-camera, and on-the-go productions.
“Designed to meet the demanding requirements of broadcasters deploying video contribution workflows over mobile and IP networks, from encoders and transmitters to receivers, Haivision’s latest 5G solutions offer pristine-quality video with up to 4K UHD, with end-to-end latency across mobile networks as low as 200ms,” a company spokesperson shared.
