Online video platform provider Ooyala has joined the SRT Alliance, a collaboration to continuously develop the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol and technology stack for low-latency video streaming.

SRT was developed as a royalty-free protocol built to optimise streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal – in order to account for packet loss, jitter and fluctuating bandwidth, thus maintaining the integrity and quality of a video stream.

Ooyala said that it will fully support the SRT Open Source Project helping drive greater access and adoption of the SRT protocol to improve digital video delivery and video workflows around the world.

“Ooyala fully supports the SRT Alliance’s goals; we are all about driving innovation and collaboration to overcome the challenges to achieving consistently low-latency video streaming,” said Belsasar Lepe, Ooyala founder and CTO. “Providing the best digital video experience is a major part of our mission, and we’re fully committed to delivering just that – reliable video quality unfettered by latency issues, stuttering and dropouts. This industry-wide collaboration is a key step in giving viewers TV-grade performance, with the added benefits unique to online.”

With more than 170 members, the SRT Alliance works collaboratively to increase industry-wide awareness and adoption of SRT as a common standard for low-latency video transport over the internet.
