  • SRT and UDP streams support the SMPTE 2038 specifications related to the transport of VANC data (e.g. CEA-708, OP-47, SCTE-104) for both the output and the live input.

  • SRT and UDP stream support ATSC A/53 closed captions in the MPEG transport stream for both the output and the live input. When using a live input, the ATSC A/53 closed captions are disabled if the stream contains SMPTE 2038 information.

  • Adjustable encoding parameters. The H.264 profile/bitrate as well as the AAC audio bitrate can be defined when using SRT or UDP streaming out.
