Earlier this year, Sony joined the SRT alliance, which offers an open-source protocol that combines encryption, packet loss recovery and jitter prevention technologies to preserve video stream quality and integrity. SRT harnesses latest developments in real-time IP communications, enhancing conventional network error recovery methods to deliver extremely stable, low-latency media streams.
Additionally, the latest update supports Sony’s unique Adaptive Rate Control function, designed to provide a more stable connection, optimized for the network environment and available bandwidth by controlling bitrate based on fluctuation of bandwidth.
This update also supports RTMP/RTMPS (Real Time Messaging) Protocol, allowing the cameras to directly stream live videos onto social media platforms such as YouTube and Facebook through a simple and quick connection.
