Open Media Transport is an Open Source, completely free Professional IP Video protocol. It uses a high performance DCT based codec which is fast to encode and decode allowing modern CPUs to support low latency and many simultaneous streams.

Data rate can be Low, Medium or High, allowing some selection of quality, where Medium is a little higher than well understood IP Video standards like NDI®. The OMT SDK is very easy to implement and supported on Mac, Windows, and Linux with Intel and Arm based CPUs. Alpha channel support is included, along with the ability to route streams, and bidirectional metadata on each stream connection.
