How it works

Your own SRT server on the internet — ready in 3 minutes.

Create a free account, buy a package and you get your own virtual server with a fixed IP address. You send your stream to it once, and send its address to the people who should receive it — up to 10 of them can connect at the same time.

Create a free account

Register at app.srtcloud.eu. New users receive a coupon to try the 3-day package.

02

Buy your own server

Choose 3, 10 or 30 days and pay by card (or redeem the coupon). Your own virtual server with a fixed IP address starts automatically and is ready in 2–3 minutes.

03

Send your stream

Point your source — a hardware encoder, a camera with SRT, OBS or vMix — to the server's IN address, for example srt://your-ip:9100. You send the stream only once, with the upload bandwidth of one stream.

04

Send the OUT address to your receivers

Give the OUT address, for example srt://your-ip:9202, to the people who should receive your stream. They open it in their decoder or player — up to 10 at the same time. You decide how many may connect: 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10.

05

Watch it in the console

See who is connected and how healthy the signal is: bitrate, RTT, packet loss, buffer — live.

Step 2 in the console: choose a package, pay by card or redeem a coupon — the server starts automatically.

Without a distribution server

Multiple encoder outputs, more uplink bandwidth, more coordination, more failure points at the source location.

With SRTCloud

Automatic server creation, one dedicated server IP, one source-side contribution feed, cloud-based redistribution and centralized monitoring.

Why SRTCloud

Built for live video — from OB vans to independent streamers.

Broadcaster, production company, event organiser, church, school or a streamer with your own show: if the same live stream has to reach several places, SRTCloud receives it once and sends it on to up to 10 SRT destinations. The server, SRT software and included traffic are part of the package, so you can focus on the show instead of the infrastructure.

Monitoring and control

Know whether the feed is healthy before someone calls.

SRTCloud is more than a forwarding URL. The service is intended to give operators a clear view of input status, destination status and transport metrics used in real broadcast workflows.

The SRTCloud console

Everything about your server on one screen.

SRT input and output addresses, live telemetry (RTT, packet loss and drops, receive buffer, bitrate), the performance graph and the state of all 10 outputs — plus Reset Drop/Loss and Restart Server when you need them.

You control who receives

Exactly as many receivers as you expect.

  • Choose the number of outputs. In SETUP SERVER you set how many receivers may connect at the same time — 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 — and the IN and OUT ports. If you expect four receivers, set four: when they are connected, nobody else can take a free place.
  • See who is connected. At the bottom of the console, Live connections shows every output: connected or free, and the IP address and port of each receiver — so you always know who is taking your stream.
  • Change it any time. Set a different number of outputs or new passphrases whenever you need — the server applies them on a restart, so make the change between programmes.
SETUP SERVER: input and output stream ports, a passphrase for each, and the number of output ports (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10)
SETUP SERVER — number of output streams: 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10.
Live connections: all ten outputs connected, each with the receiver address and port and a ban button
Live connections at the bottom of the console — output 1 connected, with the receiver's address and port and a button to cut it off; outputs 2–10 free.

Encryption

Lock the feed with a passphrase.

  • Protect the input. Turn on a passphrase on your IN port and only your encoder can send to the server. SRT refuses anything else during the handshake, before a single packet of video is accepted.
  • Protect the output. One passphrase for every receiver on the OUT port. Without it a connection is refused, so the address alone is not enough to watch your feed.
  • Generate it in one click. The console creates a 20-character passphrase and writes it straight into the IN and OUT addresses, so you copy the whole URL into your encoder or decoder.

Both passphrases are set in SETUP SERVER and apply after Save & Restart. Encryption is AES-128.

SETUP SERVER: passphrase for the input stream and one passphrase for all receivers on the output
SETUP SERVER — a passphrase on the input and one passphrase for all receivers on the output.

Records

Every connection, written down.

  • Who connected, and when. The console keeps a permanent record of every connection and disconnection — your encoder on the input and each receiver on the output — with address, port and time. Nothing is removed from it.
  • Download the record. Take it as .csv or .log for your own archive or for a report to a client.
  • Cut an address off. If a receiver should not be there, ban it: the connection drops within seconds and the place is free for someone else.
  • See when the network failed, not your encoder. The Drops window lists episodes of dropped packets on the incoming feed — when it started, how long it lasted and how many packets were dropped.
Connection log in the SRTCloud console: time, event, side, port and address of every connection, a ban button on every row, filters and .csv export
Connection log — every connect and disconnect, with the address and the time; the banned address stays at the top until you release it.
Drops window in the SRTCloud console: dropped input packet episodes, with Refresh and .csv or .log download — here with no drops recorded
Drops — dropped packets on the incoming feed; on a clean link there is nothing to show.

Your source, your choice

Send from any SRT source.

Anything that can send an SRT stream can feed your own SRTCloud server — a production truck, a hardware encoder, a camera with built-in SRT or a laptop.

Live production & OB vans

Send the programme feed out of the truck, gallery or studio as one SRT stream and deliver it to every broadcaster, rights holder and partner.

Hardware encoders

Professional SRT encoders send straight to the IN address of your server. Set the encoder to SRT caller mode and you are live.

Illustration of a camcorder streaming over SRT

Cameras with built-in SRT

Camcorders that stream SRT themselves need no encoder at all — a camera with built-in SRT streaming sends directly to your SRTCloud server.

Illustration of a laptop running streaming software

Software & laptops

OBS, vMix or FFmpeg on a laptop or PC — enter the IN address as the SRT output and start streaming.

Receive anywhere

Your receivers need only the OUT address.

Send the OUT address of your server to the people who should receive your stream. They can watch or take it on a phone, a computer or a professional decoder — up to 10 at the same time.

Illustration of a phone and a tablet playing an SRT stream

Phones & tablets

Free SRT player apps for iOS and Android, for example Haivision Play Pro or Larix Player — paste the OUT address and watch the stream live.

Illustration of a computer playing an SRT stream

Players on a computer

VLC on desktop (Open Network Stream), OBS (Media Source), vMix (SRT input) or FFplay — for monitoring, recording or mixing the stream into your own production.

Broadcast SRT decoders and IRDs take the stream into the MCR or the gallery with SDI output.

Use cases

For anyone who needs a live feed in several places.

Sports eventsOne feed from the venue to every rights holder and broadcaster.
OB van contributionSend the programme out of the truck as a single SRT stream.
Remote productionFeed remote galleries and production hubs over the internet.
MCR distributionDeliver to master control rooms and playout centres.
Rights-holder feedsGive each rights holder a clean feed with its own output.
Temporary event distributionRent a server for 3, 10 or 30 days — only when you need it.

Satellite alternative

Satellite-style distribution without booking satellite capacity.

For many suitable live workflows, SRTCloud can replace or complement traditional satellite distribution. The source sends an internet-based SRT contribution feed, and the cloud server handles delivery to the required destinations.

FAQ

Answers to common questions.

What is SRTCloud?

SRTCloud lets you choose a package and automatically create a cloud-based SRT distribution server with its own IP address. You send one contribution feed into it and deliver that feed to multiple configured destinations.

How fast can I start?

The service is designed so a registered user can create a server and begin configuring SRT distribution in about 2-3 minutes after selecting a package.

How many destinations can receive my stream?

A server can distribute the stream to up to 10 destinations, depending on package and configuration.

Can I use SRTCloud for my own live streams?

Yes. SRTCloud works for anyone who sends a live stream over SRT — broadcasters, production companies, event organisers, churches, schools or individual streamers. It is not a video portal: it receives your SRT stream and forwards it to the destinations you choose, and your viewers watch on your own platform or player.

Can it replace satellite?

For many suitable event and broadcast workflows, SRTCloud can replace or complement satellite distribution. The right choice depends on production requirements and network conditions.

Do I need to buy or configure a separate server?

No. The server is created by SRTCloud when you select a package. You do not need to buy hosting elsewhere, install server software or prepare the machine manually.

Can I extend my server?

Yes. When you extend your server, the purchased number of days is added to the current server duration and the package traffic is added to the server traffic allowance.

Ready to distribute your next live feed?

Choose a package, get a dedicated server IP in minutes, send one SRT stream, and deliver it to up to 10 destinations.
