SRT server

SRT server: field ingest and delivery to cable operators.

Your encoder calls our origin in Chile or North America over SRT, and every channel provides an srt:// URL for the cable operator's headend, your IRD or your monitoring. We have operated streaming servers since 2011.

SRT ingest and output included in every paid video plan.

Delivery to cable operators

Your channel, straight to the operator's headend.

Every channel provides an srt:// URL next to the web player. The cable operator's headend, IRD or receiver connects as caller and receives your feed from the same origin that serves your website.

  • One srt:// URL per channel, included in paid video plans
  • SecureToken also protects the SRT output
  • The same URL works for VLC, FFmpeg and monitoring

    Radio Hoy: Hoy TV on the web and on cable

    From our origin in Chile, a single channel with Transcoder ABR feeds the website and delivers the Hoy TV signal to cable operators over SRT.

    Telecanal: three feeds with SRT ingest

    The channel runs three feeds on our North America origin, with SRT ingest, Recording Cloud and restream. Its own team manages them from the panel.

Ingest

Your encoder calls. Our origin listens.

Turn on SRT ingest mode on your channel and the panel gives you the ingest URL. Its Stream ID carries your channel token, which authenticates every publish.

  • Your encoder in caller mode, our origin in listener
  • Channel token inside the Stream ID
  • SRT and RTMP live side by side on the same channel
Why SRT

When the network fails, your feed keeps going.

If a packet is lost on the way, the origin asks for it again and it arrives in time. Built for 4G, 5G, dedicated links and shared networks.

  • Recovers lost packets

    Selective retransmission (ARQ) within the link latency window.

  • Built for real networks

    4G and 5G backpacks, stadiums, city-to-city links and dedicated fiber.

  • Hands-off recovery

    If the engine or a session freezes, the system restarts it on its own and your encoder reconnects.

Copy the ingest URL from your panel. Each encoder has its own guide inside Streaming Data.

SRT, RTMP and HLS: each in its place.

SRT and RTMP carry your feed to the origin. HLS delivers it to your audience. SRT also sends it out to professional equipment.

Where the feed has to arrive complete, to your audience and to other operators.

  • Cable operators and headends

    Deliver your channel over SRT to the operator's headend or IRD, from the same ingest that feeds your website.

    TV channel streaming
  • Field reporting

    Live reports over 4G and 5G from LiveU Solo, Larix or your encoder.

  • Quality monitoring

    Open the output in VLC or FFmpeg and check exactly what the operator receives.

Connect your feed in 3 steps.

  1. Create your account

    Free video plan, no card and no end date.

  2. Choose SRT on your channel

    Copy the ingest URL: its Stream ID already carries your channel token.

  3. Paste it into your encoder

    In OBS: Settings → Stream, Custom service. Check the ingest diagnostics in the panel.

Guide: set up and test SRT

Yes. SRT ingest and output are included in every paid video plan at no extra cost. Your plan's monthly transfer applies. The free plan includes SRT ingest, but not the output.

Share your channel's srt:// URL, found in the Share Streaming tab. The operator's headend or IRD connects to it as caller; if you enable SecureToken, the URL carries the token. This is how Radio Hoy delivers its Hoy TV signal to cable operators from our origin in Chile.

Your encoder connects as caller and our origin listens as listener. For the output, the receiver also calls the playback URL. Copy the full URL: the Stream ID carries your channel token.

Publishing is authenticated with your channel token inside the Stream ID, so leave the passphrase field in your encoder empty. The SRT output is protected with SecureToken, a token with a configurable duration.

SRT stabilizes the leg between your encoder and the origin: it retransmits lost packets without cutting the feed. What your audience sees depends on the output: standard HLS about 30 s (the player stability margin), LL-HLS ~3 s and WebRTC up to 0.3 s.

SRT resends lost packets within the link window. If the connection drops, your encoder reconnects and the channel picks the feed back up. The panel's ingest diagnostics show protocol, codecs, keyframe, fps and bitrate every 10 seconds.

Yes. You choose the ingest mode in the panel and keep RTMP for encoders that do not support SRT.

SRT output is for headends, IRDs, VLC and FFmpeg. On the web, your audience watches HLS in the player, or WebRTC as an add-on.

No automatic overage charges: we notify you at 80% and 100% of your transfer and you can add capacity instantly from the panel, prorated. For 24/7 feeds, size with headroom or move to Enterprise+, with transfer from 100 TB/month defined in the contract. Transfer policy (Terms, section X)

Your feed stays solid, from the field to the headend.
