SRT Gateway vendor hub · Last updated: June 30, 2026

Blackmagic Design SRT gateway workflows connect streaming encoder, streaming decoder, production routing, cloud monitoring, event workflows workflows to a controlled live video operations layer. Blackmagic workflows often combine hardware switching, encoding, decoding, and production routing. Callaba can receive the SRT side of that workflow, verify transport and media health, and expose the feed to recording, playback, Multiview, failover, and API control.

Quick answer: where Callaba fits

Use the Blackmagic Design device or platform for the source-side job, then use Callaba as the SRT listener, cloud gateway, private gateway, recorder, Multiview surface, playback layer, route controller, and API-controlled operations plane.

Workflow pattern

Blackmagic Design source to Callaba SRT gateway

Source side

Blackmagic Design device or platform

Encode, contribute, decode, or hand off the live feed from the production edge.

→

Callaba gateway

Receive, monitor, route, record, recover

Use SRT stats, preview, Multiview, output state, failover, and API control to operate the stream.

→

Outputs

Multiview, recording, playback, partner output, backup path

Turn one contribution boundary into a workflow the team can inspect and reuse.

Setup checklist for Blackmagic Design SRT workflows

Confirm the exact Blackmagic Design model, firmware, role, output type, and SRT support before the event.
Create a Callaba SRT server and choose the listener port, latency, stream ID, and passphrase policy.
Open the required UDP port or port range on the firewall, AWS security group, or private network boundary.
Configure the Blackmagic Design source as SRT Caller for most cloud workflows, then point it to the Callaba host and port.
Verify connection state, incoming bitrate, RTT, packet loss, preview, audio, and recording before relying on the feed.
Only after ingest is stable, add Multiview, playback, routing, partner output, failover, or API automation.
