SRT source (with decoding)

The Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is an open-source video streaming protocol designed for secure and low-latency delivery over unpredictable networks, like the public internet. Developed by Haivision, SRT optimizes streaming performance by dynamically adapting to varying bandwidths and minimizing the effects of packet loss. It incorporates AES encryption for secure content transmission. Primarily used in broadcasting and online streaming, SRT is crucial for delivering high-quality video feeds in real-time applications, enhancing viewer experiences even in challenging network conditions. It supports point-to-point and multicast streaming, making it versatile for diverse setups.

The SRT source block provides decoded video and audio streams from an SRT source.
