SRC-Link (Secure Reliable Controllable Link) introduces remote, multiperson, secure, reliable and efficient orchestration method to your OBS Studio.

SRC-Link works with SRC-Link Control Panel Web service.

Key features

  • A host can receive multiple clean-feed (video/audio streams) from guests in parallel. The guest to receive can be selected from among the members.
  • Guests can connect to receiver and enter standby mode. The standby state allows transmission to begin at any time, and the host's commands initiate video and audio transmission.
  • There is no need to send connection information (address, stream ID, password, etc.) to guests. Guests do not need to configure them in OBS Studio.
  • The host can view the guest's standby status and video screenshots (updated every 5 to 30 seconds) on the SRC-Link Control Panel.
  • Since a guest in standby mode is literally just waiting without transmitting video or audio, there can theoretically be far more streams (whether 10, 100, or 1,000) than the host can receive.
    • However, there is a limit in the SRC-Link Control Panel plan.
  • SRT is used as the transmission protocol for video and audio. Stream ID and passphrase are controlled by the SRC-Link Control Panel.
  • (Since 0.5.5) Operation Teams allows to share receiver among your organization staffs to operate live streaming program jointly.
  • (Since 0.6.0) Stream Recording functionality records cleanfeed in guest's local disk.
  • (Since 0.6.0) External Connections allows SRC-Link connects to external SRT servers such as vMix, SRT MiniServer, Nimble Streamer etc...
  • (Since 0.7.0) WebSocket Portal for OBS provides an obs-websocket compatible server and allows remote control of OBS Studio over the Internet using obs-websocket clients. No open ports, tunneling or VPN is required.
