Haivision SRT Gateway

Transport Video Across Networks

Haivision SRT Gateway is a highly flexible and scalable broadcast solution for secure routing of live video streams across different types of IP networks. By serving as a network bridge and converting between protocols, SRT Gateway facilitates streaming live video content to one or several destinations for broadcast production and distribution.

Network Bridging
Complex video workflows can involve many live production stages across multiple locations and network types including LANs, WANs, MPLS, IP over satellite, and the internet. Haivision SRT Gateway performs stream routing and protocol conversion in real-time, across different networks, without affecting video quality.

Protocol Conversion
Each network and edge point along a video stream’s path can require specific and differing transport protocols. Haivision SRT Gateway converts live video from one protocol to another in real-time. For instance, broadcast contribution streams can be converted on the fly from Transport Stream to SRT for backhaul across the internet or to UDP with multicast, for efficient LAN distribution. In supporting confidence monitoring or bi-directional live interviews, return feeds can be delivered with the most suitable protocol for both remote and in-studio viewing.

Point to Multipoint Streaming
Distributing a live video source to multiple destinations, such as broadcast affiliates or syndication rights holders, can only be achieved by meeting the specific streaming requirements of each destination. Haivision SRT Gateway can replicate a single incoming stream for 24/7 broadcast distribution as multiple outgoing streams, each configured to a specific protocol, in unicast or multicast mode.

Secure and Highly Reliable
Fully supporting the SRT open source streaming protocol, which was originally developed by Haivision, SRT Gateway can ingest, relay, and encrypt video streams with AES 128- or 256-bit keys for end to end stream protection. The Emmy Award winning SRT provides robust packet retransmission for recovering lost packets while minimizing bandwidth overhead and impact on latency. With Path Redundancy, Haivision SRT Gateway can route live content over more than one IP network path, further ensuring reliable stream delivery in the event of an interruption to one network link.

Firewall Traversal
IP firewalls block external access to a network and prevent video streams from being delivered from one location to another. A Haivision SRT Gateway can be located anywhere outside of a network’s firewall for sharing content without breaching network security policies.

Flexible Deployment
Video streaming routes are increasingly complex and may include both on-premise and cloud based infrastructure. Haivision SRT Gateway is available in different deployment options to facilitate your broadcast production and distribution workflows. Whether as dedicated server appliance, as a cloud instance,or as a virtual machine (VM), Haivision SRT Gateways can easily be deployed anywhere for all types of broadcast streaming applications.
