Avid Media Composer SRT

Avid Media Composer 2022.4 and later supports streaming via SRT, meaning you can stream from Media Composer to a Louper room directly, without needing to use NDI in combination with LBS. A Media Composer Ultimate or Enterprise license is required to enable SRT output.

caution
