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

Magewell SRT gateway workflows connect source-side jobs such as Pro Convert, Ultra Encode, Ultra Stream, SDI and HDMI handoff, protocol bridge workflows to a controlled live video operations layer. Magewell workflows often bridge SDI, HDMI, IP, SRT, RTMP, and production handoff requirements. Callaba can be the cloud or private gateway that receives the encoded output and exposes it to live operations.

Quick answer: where Callaba fits

Use the Magewell 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.

Each guide focuses on one source or device family. Use this page as the parent hub when you are comparing which Magewell workflow belongs in the live path.

Workflow pattern

Magewell source to Callaba SRT gateway

Source side

Magewell 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 Magewell SRT workflows

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