Ramat Hasharon(25 Oct 2021)
Ramat Hasharon, Israel, October 25, 2021 – Omnistream, provider of high-quality, live video broadcasting from anywhere using smartphones, off-the-shelf hardware, SRT and the cloud, today announced that they have joined the SRT Alliance, the open-source initiative dedicated to overcoming the challenges of low-latency video streaming.
Omnistream is joining the SRT Alliance as part of the company’s overall strategy to take the outdoor live streaming experience to the highest level of quality by leveraging the power of smartphones and off-the-shelf 4G bonding hardware. Since the Omnistream cellular bonded stream is sent to the studio as an SRT stream with overall 2 seconds of latency, remote production is now a feasible option. Furthermore, the combination of cellular bonding and SRT to a remote studio overcomes the challenges of professional field production – such as carrying expensive equipment and investing resources in setup and proper internet connection - without compromising on video quality.
The SRT Alliance, founded by Haivision in April 2017, already has more than 350 members. Its mission is to overcome the challenges of low-latency live streaming by supporting the collaborative development of SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) Open Source, the fastest growing open source streaming project. SRT is a free open source video transport protocol and technology stack originally developed and pioneered by Haivision that enables the delivery of high-quality and secure, low-latency video across the public internet.
“Having just successfully completed the first SRT streaming via bonded cellular broadcast, we are proud to be joining the SRT Alliance,” states Hagay Avraham, CEO of Omnistream. “We look forward to advancing the SRT standard and firmly believe that it will support and enable our client-base of videographers and production houses to improve their live coverage experience, save precious time and resources, and provide more engaging live video content, particularly since SRT enables editing and overlays in their natural environment.”
“With the SRT Alliance, Omnistream is joining an industry movement to improve the way the world streams video,” said Suso Carrillo, SRT Alliance Director at Haivision. “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 de facto standard for low latency internet streaming.”
