Before you create an SRT input in your event, speak to the administrator of the upstream system, and obtain the following information:

• The IP address and port of the content. For example, 192.168.1.2:5000.

• Whether the content is encrypted. If it is encrypted, find out if encryption uses AES 128, AES 192, or AES 256.

  Obtain the passphrase from the administrator of the upstream system.

• The stream ID, if the upstream system uses this identifier. The sender might require a stream ID, in which case you must obtain it. Otherwise the SRT handshake between the caller and listener might fail.

• The preferred latency (in milliseconds) for implementing packet loss and recovery. Packet recovery is a key feature of SRT.
