Taking the next step in its strategy to make professional Internet media transport more open
Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight today joins the SRT Alliance, endorsing interoperable professional media transport and will participate in a NAB 2019 panel about leveraging SRT and cloud broadcast services to accelerate production in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
