SipMX for SRT™ Devices
Your SRT™ devices keep working. You gain NMOS manageability and RIST transport.
The Challenge
SRT-enabled encoders, decoders, and cloud services are widely deployed for point-to-point streaming and contribution. But SRT devices lack standardized discovery, centralized routing, receiver health monitoring, and capability negotiation. Each stream is manually configured with IP addresses and ports. When SRT feeds need to integrate with broadcast NMOS infrastructure (ST 2110, IPMX) or participate in multi-site workflows, there is no built-in path.
The Solution
SipMX Gateway receives SRT streams and translates them to RIST for NMOS-managed workflows. SRT encoders appear in the SipMX crosspoint alongside ST 2110 routers, IPMX encoders, NDI® cameras, and AES67 audio devices. Route, monitor, and contribute SRT streams alongside every other protocol — from a single interface. Our SRT implementation is built on open-source code maintained by SipMX, not a proprietary SDK. Gateway discovery and chained routing follow SIPMX-BCP-009-01.
What SRT™ Users Gain
NMOS Discovery & Routing
SRT encoders and decoders appear in the SipMX crosspoint as NMOS-managed devices. Route any SRT source to any destination alongside ST 2110, IPMX, NDI-compatible, and AES67 devices.
RIST WAN Transport
SRT streams are translated to RIST for site-to-site transport with ARQ error correction, AES encryption, and frame-accurate decoder synchronization. Managed via standard NMOS IS-05 connections.
Receiver Health Monitoring
BCP-008-01 receiver status for SRT ingest points — packet loss, latency, stream health — visible in the same dashboard as all other devices in the facility.
Audio + Video Muxing
Combine SRT video feeds with AES67 console audio or other protocol sources into a single RIST MPTS stream for unified WAN contribution.
For SRT™ Users & Manufacturers
Whether you're a facility deploying SRT equipment or a manufacturer building SRT devices — there's a clear path into NMOS-managed workflows.
External Gateway
For facilities — deploy today, zero device changes
Deploy SipMX Gateway at your facility. It accepts SRT streams from your existing encoders and decoders in caller or listener mode and bridges them into NMOS workflows. Centralized routing, receiver monitoring, and RIST transport — with zero changes to your SRT devices.
Embedded Gateway
For manufacturers — ship NMOS bridging inside your appliance
Bundle SipMX Gateway (with the DeviceSDK built in) directly inside your product. Your appliance ships with NMOS bridging out of the box — your customers don't need a separate gateway. SRT streams are translated to RIST internally, and the device registers as a full NMOS node. No firmware rewrite required.
Native DeviceSDK
For manufacturers — deepest integration, lowest latency
Integrate the SipMX DeviceSDK directly into your firmware (~20 lines of code). Your device feeds media directly via UDP to the SDK — if you already support SRT, you already have UDP, so this is trivial. Your device becomes a native NMOS node (IS-04, IS-05, BCP-008-01) with built-in RIST transport for WAN delivery. The SDK also includes a lightweight SRT output layer for delivering to external SRT receivers that don't yet support RIST. Far lower overhead than the embedded gateway approach.
SIPMX Certification
Premium positioning in the ecosystem
Pass SIPMX compliance testing, get listed in the certified device directory, and position your devices in the growing NMOS-managed ecosystem. Available for both embedded gateway and native DeviceSDK integrations.
SRT™ Use Cases with SipMX
Cloud Ingest
Existing SRT encoders push to cloud platforms. SipMX Gateway receives SRT, translates to RIST, and feeds into SipMX Core for centralized routing and monitoring across the production.
Remote Contributors
Field reporters or remote studios with SRT-based encoders contribute to a central facility. The gateway bridges SRT into the facility's NMOS-managed RIST backbone — no manual IP configuration.
Mixed-Protocol Facilities
Facilities with a mix of SRT encoders, NDI-compatible cameras, ST 2110 routers, and AES67 audio — all visible in one crosspoint. Unified control for every protocol.
SRT-to-SRT with NMOS Control
Existing SRT infrastructure gains NMOS manageability. The gateway receives SRT from one device and delivers SRT to another, while SipMX Core manages discovery, routing, and monitoring.
