Haivision open sourced this award-winning protocol and founded the SRT Alliance to support its adoption. SRT quickly became a widely adopted standard endorsed by over 450 companies, including top names in broadcast and cloud technologies, and is now a critical technology for cloud-based live video workflows and connectivity.

In 2014, Haivision launched their cloud-based managed services offering — Haivision Video Cloud — a full video content management platform that accommodates broadcasting live events to connected audiences around the world, as well as publishing on-demand video across internal portals, company websites and mobile applications.

In 2019, they introduced Haivision Hub, a cloud routing SaaS for routing low-latency, secure and reliable media for video contribution, production and distribution workflows.
