The SRT Alliance, an open-source initiative dedicated to overcoming the challenges of low-latency video streaming, has announced 14 new members, including Eurovision Media Services, Matrox Graphics and Telvue.

Now numbering 35 companies, the SRT Alliance is focused on developing SRT to be an alternative to proprietary and expensive transmission protocols by offering an open-source solution that can deliver low-latency video with greater reliability and performance in sub-optimal networks. It was founded by Haivision and Wowza.

The new SRT Alliance members represent a broad range of use cases, vertical segments and geographies, all interested in leveraging the SRT transport protocol in delivering highly reliable, low-latency point-to-point video links over the internet for companies globally.

"Eurovision Media Services is proud to join the SRT Alliance to help develop an open-source video transport protocol that addresses the main challenges our clients face when it comes to providing high-performance, low-latency streaming in a secure and reliable way across the public internet," said Graham Warren, COO of Eurovision Media Services.

“As we increasingly look to IP networks to transport video content, it is standardized and open technologies that will lay the foundation for lasting and transformative solutions,” said David Chiappini, vice president of research and development at Matrox. “Through implementation of the SRT protocol, Matrox expands its commitment to open, interoperable streaming products, without sacrificing end-to-end security and the low-latency that users expect from modern encoders.”

Paul Andrews, senior vice president of sales and marketing at TelVue, added: "TelVue is pleased to be a member of the SRT Alliance along with other forward-thinking broadcast equipment and service providers. Our customers are innovative and take their broadcast video quality seriously. The promise of SRT to provide reliable, resilient, high bandwidth, low latency video distribution across the public Internet is very exciting. TelVue is pleased to help bring SRT to our customers."
