Haivision Systems Inc.

Haivision Systems Inc. is a Canadian company that has become the principal steward of the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, an open-source technology that adds encrypted, low-latency error recovery to ordinary IP networks. Originally created to move broadcast-quality video over unpredictable internet paths, the codec-agnostic library is now embedded in encoders, decoders, cameras, switchers, cloud services and OTT platforms that need studio-grade reliability without dedicated fiber or satellite links. Typical use cases range from remote contribution of live sports and news feeds, to cloud-based production workflows, to mission-critical military or corporate streaming where packet loss and jitter would normally break the picture. By transparently replacing legacy UDP or TCP with a UDP-derived layer that combines AES-256 encryption, forward error correction and real-time feedback, SRT enables sub-second end-to-end latency at multi-megabit rates while remaining firewall-friendly and royalty-free. Developers integrate the lightweight C/C++ API into mobile apps, desktop players, Docker containers and embedded firmware, while system administrators pair it with OBS, FFmpeg, GStreamer or VLC to build everything from campus IPTV to global CDN backbones. All Haivision SRT packages are offered for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are sourced from trusted Windows package managers such as winget, always deliver the latest upstream release, and can be installed individually or batched alongside other applications.
