Function

Modes

  • Listener mode: Set Premiere Pro into Listener mode and use it in connection with Caller mode for a viewing client. In Listener mode, the viewing client will initiate the SRT handshake.
  • Caller mode: Set Premiere Pro into Caller mode and use it in connection with Listener mode for a viewing client. In Caller mode, Premiere Pro will initiate the SRT handshake.
  • Rendezvous mode: Set Premiere Pro into Rendezvous mode and use it in connection with other viewing clients in the same mode. In Rendezvous mode either Premiere Pro or the viewing client can initiate the SRT handshake.

Stream ID

An ID can be added to identify an SRT over the network. Only available in Caller mode.

Address

The IP address that will be used for the SRT handshake connection. In the Caller mode, it’s the IP of the machine or computer hosting the viewing client. In Rendezvous mode, it’s the IP of the other machine also in Rendezvous mode with the viewing client.

Port

The port used for the SRT handshake and stream.

Passphrase

The passphrase is used to validate an encrypted SRT stream. It must be between 10 and 79 characters long.

Latency

Additional latency is measured in milliseconds. Increasing this value will potentially allow more packets to be resent in the SRT stream, making the stream more robust, but it also increases delay. If both endpoints have differing values for the latency setting, the higher value is used. The latency range is from 0ms (none) to 1000ms (1s).

Quality Settings

Quality Settings of the SRT stream can be used to manage the stream's network bandwidth. Choose lower quality settings to reduce bandwidth usage, or higher quality settings for better visuals at a higher bandwidth cost.

Streaming indicator

When a valid SRT connection is established and a stream is sent from Premiere Pro, a Streaming indicator appears in the Program Monitor or Source Monitor, showing that the SRT stream is being sent to a viewing client.
