3.5. SRT Setting

Before starting SRT transmission, Port to be used and whether Camera is set to Caller mode or

Listener mode needs to be fixed.

Caller means it starts the transmission, while Listener means it waits for it.

Caller/Listener can be set regardless of whether it sends/receives the images. Once one side is set as

Caller, the other needs to be Listener.

In general, the device in firewall is set as Caller, and the device with global IP address such as server

is set as Listener.

Both Caller and Listener are supported for the cameras. If camera is set as Caller, set the connection

destination as Listener. If camera is set as Listener, set the connection destination as Caller.

Some devices support either Caller or Listener only. In that case, set camera to establish the

connection.

Please refer to the manual of the device to be connected as well.

Regarding the SRT connection environment, please refer to the information announced from SRT

Alliance.
