Advanced Streamer ~ SRT Support

Using SRT is another method to send your stream to sidelineHD and receive the same features of stream UP/DOWN messages, publishing to Facebook/YouTube and clips. SRT protocol allows you to use HEVC (H.265) video compression, which sends the same quality video in 1/2 the bandwidth. This can provide a more reliable data transmission in certain situations.

Using SRT is an advanced, experimental feature. Moving forward, we assume that you:
