Adding an SRT input source

Using StudioPro you can very quickly and easily bring in an SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) input source to your production.

Before you start to receive an SRT signal, you'll need to set up your router for Port Forwarding to open up the ports you wish to send to. This will be different for each router but more information can be found by searching online. The basics are, you need to sign in to your router and in the advanced firewall settings, set the ports you wish to use as rules. 

For example, here's how this is achieved using BT Smart Hub Manager:

Set the Mode to Listener or Caller.

Caller and Listener modes don’t have anything to do with who is sending or receiving the stream; it is merely who initiates the initial connection.
In Listener mode, SRT will wait to receive a connection from another SRT process. In Caller mode, SRT will attempt initiate the connection. This connection comes in the form of the SRT handshake.

Enter the same port as you set on the streaming side.

Enter the other settings to match the other end.  Once you've done that. Click OK.
