What is SRT? Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is an open-source protocol purpose-built for delivering professional video securely over any public internet connection, even in challenging network conditions. It's the industry standard for cloud-based live video contribution.

What is RTMP? Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a protocol originally developed for streaming audio and video over the internet. Widely supported across encoders, platforms and destinations, it remains a common choice for live video ingest and distribution, particularly when delivering to social platforms and CDNs.

What is Zixi? Zixi is a proprietary protocol designed for reliable, low-latency delivery of live video over IP networks. Built with error correction and stream monitoring built in, it is widely adopted by broadcasters and service providers who require predictable, high-quality delivery over the public internet.

Maximum number of inputs and outputs per pool

By default, a Quortex Link pool supports up to 20 inputs and up to 100 outputs. Creating additional inputs or outputs will fail.

Use multiple pools to manage your different projects. Management and operations are simplified when the number of inputs and outputs is kept humanely reasonable.

If you need to use more inputs or outputs in a single pool, please just contact us, as it may require additional configuration or costs.

Maximum Supported bitrate

By default, a Quortex Link pool supports SRT streams with a data bitrate up to 20 Mb/s.

Going above that bitrate threshold will display a warning in the input, and may impact system stability.

If you need to activate the use of bitrates higher than 20 Mb/s, please just contact us. We will be glad to activate the support of higher bitrates on your pool.

Quortex Link - SRT input above 20Mb/s

Security

Maximum number of CIDR for SRT Listener

When using SRT Listener connection mode for ingest or delivery with Quortex Link, beyond using a passphrase, access can be additionally secured by restricting clients than allowed to connect by specifying allows IP addresses through CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia).

A single CIDR specifies a continuous range of IP addresses. It can be very specific, down to exactly 1 IP address (e.g. 1.2.3.4/32), or target a range of servers in the same subnet.

In Quortex Link, the number of CIDR is limited as follows:

Ingest point : up to 1 CIDR
Delivery point : up to 3 CIDR
