SRT source configuration

Configure your SRT encoder

Here’s how to configure your SRT encoder. The credentials will be under the “Source” tab in your project:

Settings

Timbra acts as the listener, you’re the caller

Latency

If you can set the latency to 50ms if your encoder is near or in AWS eu-west-1. Set it higher if you’re seeing connection issues.

Bitrates

Since we don’t use the video, you can configure your encoder to provide a low resolution or black video feed. For monitoring purposes it can be useful to include a clock overlay. Using a low bitrate (1000-2000) will increase connection stability. Use a normal bitrate for the audio.

You can view the bitrate in the Health monitor tab:

Configuration with FFmpeg

Use ffmpeg to stream using SRT:

ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -i https://captionhub-public-test-data.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/media/brompton.mp4 \
  -c copy \
  -f mpegts \
  $SRT_URL
