AJA demos SRT-to-SDI bridge workflow
AJA Video Systems published a BRIDGE LIVE tutorial showing how to bridge SRT IP feeds to SDI broadcast infrastructure, providing a practical path for hybrid cloud-to-broadcast workflows reported.
AJA’s BRIDGE LIVE support channel published a step‑by‑step tutorial that demonstrates receiving MPEG‑TS over SRT and adjusting the BRIDGE LIVE latency buffer in the BRIDGE LIVE UI ([youtube.com)]. BRIDGE LIVE’s software stack supports SRT alongside RTMP/S, RTP, UDP and MPEG‑TS and can encode/decode H.264, H.265 (HEVC), NDI and optional JPEG 2000, according to the Comprimato/AJA BRIDGE LIVE spec sheet ([comprimato.com)]. AJA offers multiple BRIDGE LIVE SKUs: the 12G‑4 variant with four bidirectional 12G‑SDI ports for UHD workflows and the 3G‑8 variant with eight bidirectional 3G‑SDI ports, plus dual 10GbE NICs and redundant power options listed on AJA’s product pages and manuals ([aja.com)]. The BRIDGE LIVE family exposes synchronous multi‑channel transport for frame‑accurate backhaul and metadata pass‑through including SCTE‑104/SCTE‑35 and CEA‑608/708 closed captions, as documented in the BRIDGE LIVE installation guides and spec sheets ([rcblogic.co.uk)]. AJA’s tutorial configures BRIDGE LIVE as an SRT‑to‑SDI decoder for cloud contribution sources — the manuals explicitly list examples such as SRT feeds from Panasonic PTZ/encoder models and Haivision Makito encoders as supported ingest sources ([youtube.com)]. Retail listings show the BRIDGE LIVE 3G‑8 available at roughly $18,999 MSRP on pro‑video resellers, and AJA announced the BRIDGE LIVE 12G‑4 as a new high‑density UHD option at IBC 2025, signaling targeted deployments for hybrid cloud‑to‑broadcast REMI workflows ([markertek.com)].
