*Video sources
  • RIST (Reliable Internet Stream Transport): an open-source, open-specification transport protocol designed for reliable transmission of video and audio over lossy networks (including the internet) with low latency and high quality.
  • RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol): a network standard designed for transmitting audio or video data that is optimized for consistent delivery of live data
  • SRT Listener (Secure Reliable Transport): an open source video transport protocol and technology stack. SRT uses secure streams and easy firewall traversal to optimize streaming performance and deliver high-quality video over even the most unreliable networks. SRT in LIVE can be sent encrypted
  • Zixi Push: uses the Zixi protocol to send content to a receiver that has a static, publicly addressable IP address. Use this option when the receiver is not behind a firewall or NAT-based router
  • SDI, NDI, HDMI, USB connect via encoders: SDI and NDI streams may easily be connected to LIVE using on-premises encoders. Similarly, prosumer-grade cameras and recording devices (webcams, etc.) offering HDMI or USB connectivity may be connected to Chyron LIVE using simple encoders that can be purchased on many ecommerce websites.
    • Contact your Chyron representative to ask about specific encoder recommendations.
