How do I receive an SRT feed?

Follow this workflow to receive an SRT feed.

Before you start

Obtain the sender’s mode, host/port, stream ID, and encryption requirements.

Where to find it

Sources > Add > SRT Input.

Steps

Open the scene that will contain the source.
Choose Add in Sources.
Select SRT Input in Create Source.
Enter a name and choose New.
Choose Mode: caller, listener, or rendezvous.
Enter Host and Port.
Enter Stream ID if required.
Match encryption and latency with the sender.
Check the generated Input URL.
Choose Save and Close (or OK where shown).
Check the source in Preview before taking it to Program.

Check the result

Confirm the connected source supplies the expected picture and sound.

Helpful information

Port accepts 1–65535. A passphrase, if used, needs at least 10 characters. Encryption key length 0 means no encryption. Local and peer latency trade delay for network tolerance. Width/Height set the scene item size, not the incoming stream resolution. Use Extra input options only with settings supplied for your feed.

If something is wrong

If connection fails, match mode, endpoint, stream ID, passphrase, and latency with the sender.
