Troubleshooting

If you are seeing artefacts or other glitches in the stream there are a couple of settings to change.

In the SRT protocol, this parameter is used to mitigate bad network between you and the server. It should be no less than twice the round-trip between encoder and ingest server. Increasing it will lead to slighly longer latency but a more stable stream.

  • In the SRT settings in Avid, try a higher latency value.
