**SRT (Secure Reliable Transport)** brings the best-quality live video over even the most unpredictable networks. It accounts for packet loss, jitter and fluctuating bandwidth, maintaining the integrity and quality of your stream. Benefits include:

- **Pristine Quality:** Provides professional, high-grade video across any network.
- **Cost-Effectiveness:** Replaces expensive satellite networks or rigid MPLS networks with the more affordable and flexible internet.
- **Operational Flexibility:** Allows you to deliver two-way, interactive video from anywhere with an internet connection.
- **Low Latency:** Enables real-time IP communications as fast as UDP with the reliability of TCP/IP.
- **Media-Agnostic:** SRT is merely a wrapper around your content—be it MPEG-2, H.264 or even HEVC.
- **Secure:** Industry-standard encryption for security over the Internet.

  

Wowza Streaming Engine can both [ingest and deliver an SRT stream](https://www.wowza.com/docs/ingest-and-publish-an-srt-stream-with-wowza-streaming-engine).

  

**Here is our full step-by-step SRT tutorial where we use Wirecast as the encoder. You can use any encoder you want, but it must support SRT.**
