Workflow

Test an SRT receiver before the camera arrives.

Use the built-in signal in SRT USB CAM to send a known MPEG-TS stream. It is a quick way to confirm the receiver, UDP path, decoder, and matching SRT settings without first preparing a camera or audio source.

Signal path

01SRT USB CAMSelect Test Signal as the camera source.
02SRT network pathSend to the receiver's listener address and UDP port.
03Receiver under testConfirm that video, audio, and connection status arrive as expected.

Setup

Use a repeatable source first.

Start the receiving device in SRT Listener mode and note its reachable address and UDP port.
In SRT USB CAM, select Test Signal as the camera source. Choose Color Bars or Noise, then select the required resolution and frame rate.
Set SRT USB CAM to Caller mode and enter the receiver address and port. If the receiver uses a Stream ID or encryption, enter the identical values here.
Start transmission. Check the receiver's picture and audio, then use SRT USB CAM's live statistics to confirm FPS, bitrate, packet count, reconnect count, and the latest error.
After the path is confirmed, replace Test Signal with the USB camera and audio input intended for the actual feed.

SRT USB CAM diagnostics and test-signal settings — The built-in test signal avoids dependence on a camera while the receiving path is being checked.

What to verify

A useful first-pass acceptance check.

Connection: the receiver reports an active SRT connection.
Video: the test pattern is decoded at the selected resolution and frame rate.
Audio: enable the 1 kHz test audio when audio decoding or channel routing needs confirmation.
Settings: Caller/Listener mode, port, Stream ID, passphrase, and key length match at both ends.

SRT USB CAM

Use one transmitter window for a receiver check.
