The SRT Client output can be pushed to an SRT-enabled device and is configured via Zen Master or Zixi API only. SRT stands for ‘Secure Reliable Transport’ and is an open-source video transport protocol and technology stack. SRT uses secure streams and easy firewall traversal to optimize streaming performance and deliver high-quality video over even the most unreliable networks.
