Haivision, a leader in video streaming solutions, has announced the SRT Hub Partner Program and the availability of the SRT Hub Software Development Kit (SDK).

Haivision SRT Hub is a low-latency media routing service built on Microsoft Azure that connects edge devices and systems with cloud resources regardless of geographic location. Broadcasters can use best-in-class multi-vendor cloud products to build out customized media contribution, production, distribution and delivery workflows. Global media workflows connecting vendors and spanning multiple Azure datacentres and broadcast services can be defined, orchestrated and launched within minutes, according to the company.

The SRT Hub Partner Program, supporting third-party vendor integration with the newly available SRT Hub SDK, provides a framework to develop input, output and processing modules, called Hublets, that can extend the capabilities of SRT Hub.

Initial SRT Hub integrations with products from Avid, Cinegy, Haivision, LightFlow, Microsoft, Telestream and Wowza Media Systems will be demonstrated at the IBC 2019 conference.

“With Haivision SRT Hub, we’re creating an ecosystem that gives broadcasters a highly reliable, ultra low-latency cloud-based workflow to send their content throughout their connected broadcast systems,” said Peter Maag, CMO, Haivision. “We’re bringing some of the leading systems together to make these workflows more efficient and we’re looking forward to developing new broadcast workflows for the future.”

Raymond Thompson, director of product marketing for Avid, added: “At IBC, Avid is showing a tech preview with Haivision SRT Hub to demonstrate how broadcasters can leverage a highly reliable, ultra-low latency cloud-based and on-premise workflow for getting their content into Avid MediaCentral , from anywhere in the world. The combination of SRT Hub and MediaCentral is redefining how broadcasters cover the most important breaking news and sports events and can be the first to get content on traditional and digital platforms.”

The SRT Hub SDK will shortly be published and freely distributed on Github.
