Quicklink strengthens its connectivity options by joining the SRT Alliance

The SRT protocol is coming to Quicklink devices following the company’s decision to join Haivision‘s SRT Alliance initiative.

Quicklink’s first product to become SRT-compliant is the STS410, a hybrid switch. The firm plans to deploy the protocol in each and every one of its video and audio contribution solutions.

The SRT Alliance, founded by Haivision in April 2017, currently has more than 450 members. Its mission is to overcome the challenges of low-latency live streaming by supporting the collaborative development of SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), a free and open-source streaming protocol. Originally developed by Haivision, it enables video transmission over the public Internet with low latency and in a secure manner.

A growing community

Richard Rees, CEO of Quicklink, points out that customer demand has been the driving force behind their joining the SRT Alliance: “Quicklink are extremely excited and proud to join the SRT Alliance and adopt SRT as a protocol within our solutions. We are seeing SRT gaining huge momentum as a video transport protocol within the industry. As a result of this growth, we have received a huge number of requests from customers to integrate SRT within the Quicklink solutions. We are delighted to join the growing community and contribute to the success of innovation through collaborative development.”

Meanwhile, Jesús (Suso) Carrillo, Director of SRT Alliance at Haivision, states: “We’re pleased to see the SRT protocol being actively implemented by some of the world’s biggest broadcast and enterprise streaming workflows as its adoption and industry-wide recognition continues to grow, becoming the defacto standard for low latency internet streaming.”
