SRT support
Kaltura also supports SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) for live video ingestion. Use KMC or the liveStream.get API call to retrieve endpoint URLs and stream IDs for both primary and backup SRT streams. To enable end-to-end AES-128 encryption for the SRT stream, set the passphrase found in the liveStream object using the API.
Using other encoders
If you have a different encoder, please refer to the Kaltura Live Stream Requirements Guide and configure your encoder accordingly.
