Sony Joins SRT Alliance

Sony to support SRT in latest remotely controlled IP cameras.

Sony’s initial products to support the SRT protocol include the latest lineup of remotely controlled IP cameras, the SRG-XP1 and SRG-XB25.

Bruce Tanaka, General Manager of Camera System Business Division, Sony Imaging Products & Solutions said, “At the moment, the world is witnessing and adapting to drastic changes in the way we work and learn. Such circumstances have created a pressing demand for efficient remote communication, content production, and distance learning. By joining the SRT Alliance, we believe we can help customers to create and distribute high-quality video content with low latency in an efficient manner.”

“Sony’s endorsement of SRT is an important milestone for the global streaming community,” said  Suso Carrillo, Director of the SRT Alliance for Haivision. “Since we initially open sourced SRT and founded the SRT Alliance in 2017, the technology has been adopted quickly and widely across the biggest companies in the broadcast and streaming industry. We’re delighted that SRT has grown to become the defacto standard for IP video connectivity.”
