Secure streaming

Secure streaming is a great option for confidential content, such as corporate meetings or internal employee training. There are several ways to secure your live stream.

• Stream to a CDN or media server over the Internet using Secure Reliable Transport (SRT).
• Stream to a CDN or media server over the Internet using Real Time Messaging Protocol Secure (RTMPS).
• Stream HLS (push) over local HTTPS networks.

SRT streaming includes additional AES encryption settings for even more security. You can set the SRT stream for 128 bits, 192 bits, or 256 bits AES encryption. Encryption settings must be set to the same values on both the SRT encoder sending the stream and the SRT decoder that's receiving the stream, see Set AES encryption and a passphrase for SRT.

RTMPS wraps the RTMP stream in TLS/SSL packets before it's transported over a TCP connection between the network server and the Pearl device(i.e. the client). To set up secure streaming using RTMPS, see Set up an RTMP or RTMPS (push) stream.
