Field guides
SRT setup guides that actually list the fields
Every guide below is one specific path — this encoder, that receiver — with the exact values to type, what each one does, and what breaks when it is wrong. Test any of them against our free test signal before you are live.
OBS → vMix
OBS to vMix over the internet, with SRT
Remote presenter or a second venue on OBS, main production on vMix — the full path with the exact fields.
Phone → vMix
A phone as an SRT camera, over 4G, into vMix or OBS
Larix Broadcaster settings that hold up on a mobile network, and how to prove the path first.
Latency
What SRT latency should I actually set?
The buffer is arithmetic on your RTT and loss — measure both, then read the number off the table.
Studio ↔ studio
Linking two studios over SRT
A permanent contribution path between cities — bitrate, latency, return feed and what breaks at 3 a.m.
Connection rejected
"SRT says \"connection rejected\" — what each one means"
1011, 1016, timeouts and silent failures, with the one check that tells them apart.
ffmpeg
ffmpeg over SRT, without the guesswork
Copy-paste command lines for sending, receiving, recording and restreaming — and what each flag is for.
Church multisite
Sending a service to a second campus
Multisite over SRT with volunteers running it — equipment, settings, and the fallback that saves the service.
No static IP
SRT when neither end has a static IP
Why caller/listener stalls behind NAT, when rendezvous works, and what to do when it does not.
Need a tunnel that carries your own video?
IN/OUT-SRT is a hosted SRT relay in Germany and the USA. Your encoder connects in, your receiver connects out — no static IP, no port forwarding, nothing installed. Three free 30-minute sessions every day; a full production day is $5.
