Need SRT?In from the field,out to the gallery.
Remotize takes SRT from LiveU, OBS, vMix, a hardware encoder or a phone.The desk reads it live, subtitled and translated into 26 languages.The studio takes the same picture as SRT, straight into the gallery.
Journalist or producer? You don’t need SRT. Send the camera link to a phone on location and follow the interview remotely, with subtitles and translation. Quick interviews →
From the field
- LiveU receiver, where it has an SRT output
- Hardware encoder, BELABOX
- OBS, vMix, Larix on a phone
- Or just the camera link on a phone
The desk: live subtitles and translation for everyone watching
To the gallery
- The studio picks it up over SRT
- Or we send it to your SRT address
- H.264 and AAC; encrypted with a passphrase
- vMix, OBS, any SRT decoder
Your LiveU feed, subtitled
Where your receiver has an SRT output, point it at Remotize. Every editor on the desk reads the reporter live, in their own language.
An interview in any language
A witness in Swahili, a minister in Japanese: the desk follows in German or English as it is said, and the transcript is ready when the interview ends.
A live link from a phone
No encoder at hand? The reporter’s phone becomes the camera, the desk speaks to them over talkback, and the gallery still gets clean SRT.
Remote production without a truck
For inserts, correspondents, panels and pop-up studios: a pass per production instead of satellite time or crews flown in.
For the engineers
- In
- SRT (your encoder calls us, AES-encrypted), or WebRTC from the browser on location
- Out
- SRT, H.264 and AAC: your decoder calls us (always encrypted), or we call your listener address (encrypted when you give us a passphrase), with your stream ID if needed
- Codecs
- H.264 without B-frames passes through untouched; H.265, B-frames and other formats are converted to plain H.264 on the server
- Latency
- About a second from encoder to desk, less with the camera link; SRT latency per link, 200 ms by default
- Network
- At least 5 Mbit/s steady upload on location for HD, better 10; the same download at the desk and the studio. Bonding or a wired line where it matters
- Subtitles
- 26 languages, spoken and read, mixed-language speech included; transcript to download
- Recording
- None. The media server keeps no picture and no sound; the camera on location keeps the master
- Servers
- Media server in the EU (Finland), database in Sweden; the media server logs no IP addresses per connection
Questions from galleries
Do we have to open our firewall?
No, if you pick the feed up: your decoder calls our server on UDP port 8890, like any SRT source on the internet. If you would rather receive, give us an SRT listener address and we send to it.
Does it replace our LiveU?
No. Keep LiveU for bonding in crowded networks. Remotize adds what it does not have: live subtitles and translation for everyone on the desk, a transcript afterwards, and, when there is no backpack, a live link from a phone with talkback.
How good are the subtitles?
Fast and good, from an AI speech recogniser and translator, but not perfect. They are for the desk, to follow the interview and find a moment again. What goes to air is your clean picture and sound: the subtitles are not burned in. Check quotes against the recording before they go out.
What connection do we need?
As with an OB link, the line decides. For an HD picture the location needs a steady upload of at least 5 Mbit/s, better 10, and the desk and the studio the same download. Remotize cannot make a weak network strong: on crowded mobile networks use bonding (LiveU or similar) or a wired line, and test the line before you go live.
What does it cost?
While SRT is in beta it comes with every pass: €29, VAT included, for up to 120 minutes of interview. For regular use across a newsroom, talk to us.
We are testing it now. Test it with us.
SRT in and out is new and in active testing. We are inviting broadcasters and production companies to test it with us: we set it up with your engineers, and what your gallery needs decides what we build next.
