What is the difference between SRT Overhead vs. SRT Latency?

Category: FAQ

Released: 2020-09-24

(i) The SRT Overhead parameter (SRT Output):

The amount over Total Bitrate that can be surpassed in order to recover lost data.

(ii) The SRT Latency parameter (ms) (SRT Input):

The time of intended delay of network packets (a buffer) that is allowed for the connection to slow down the data in transmission in order to provide a time slot to resend lost UDP packets if they occur.

(iii) If we combine that;

• SRT Overhead is a parameter that defines how much data can be used for retransmission.

• SRT Latency sets how long the receiver should wait for retransmissions.

SRT Overhead and Latency are also explained in the Manual.
