Send

Send a USB camera feed over SRT.

Capture a USB camera and optional audio, encode them as H.264 and AAC-LC in MPEG-TS, and send the stream to an SRT receiver.

Before you start

What you need

  • A supported USB camera connected to a Windows PC.
  • An optional Windows audio input when the stream needs audio.
  • The receiver's SRT mode, address, UDP port, and matching encryption settings.

Signal path

A USB camera connects to SRT USB CAM on a Windows PC, which sends an SRT stream over the internet to an SRT receiver system

Setup

Configure and verify one stage at a time.

  1. Start the receiving endpoint and note whether it operates as Caller or Listener.
  2. In SRT USB CAM, select the camera, resolution, frame rate, encoder, and optional audio input.
  3. Choose the opposite SRT connection role. For a Listener receiver, configure SRT USB CAM as Caller and enter its address and port.
  4. Match the Stream ID, latency, encryption, passphrase, and AES key length required by the receiver.
  5. Start transmission and confirm the connection, video, audio, FPS, and bitrate before relying on the feed.

What to verify

Check the result before relying on the path.

  • Capture: the selected camera format produces a stable preview and capture FPS.
  • Connection: Caller and Listener roles, address, port, and encryption values match.
  • Media: the receiver decodes H.264 video and optional AAC-LC audio.
  • Statistics: sent FPS and bitrate remain stable and reconnect or error counts do not keep increasing.
