Optimal Latency with SRTStreamerPRO: Live Streaming & Low-Latency Communication

Users of SRTStreamerPRO often ask: “What will the latency be if we stream to a studio and receive a return signal?”
SRTStreamerPRO isn’t just a broadcasting tool—it’s also a handy solution for two-way communication. For example, you can:
  • Receive two return channels via SRT (e.g., for live interviews or studio intercom).
  • Output them to SDI devices (cameras, monitors).

How We Measured Latency

To simulate real-world conditions, we set up a test bench:
  • SDI cameraSRTStreamerPROremote proxy-server + SRTMiniServer (simulating distance between location and studio) → SDI monitor (echo)
Results:
Full round-trip latency (Glass-to-Glass, G2G): Just over 1 second.
One-way latency: Around 600 ms on average.

Why Does This Matter?

Bottom line: With SRTStreamerPRO, you get a reliable tool for professional streaming with predictable latency. 🚀
