SRT source configuration
Configure your SRT encoder
This feature is in private beta, and may not be available in your account yet
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 in OBS
Use the full URL in the “Server” field:
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 \
