Are they still using WebRTC, just their own implementation? Or have they switched to something else on the wire?

There's a section in the article about it: "In the beginning (or: why we're not WebRTC)"
I'm interested in what they are using if not WebRTC - there's several good options in this space (SRT would be my go-to choice), so it'd be really interesting to see if they rolled their own wire protocol or used something else.
They built it from scratch
Their blog post suggests they wrote something from scratch, but gives no clue as to what, whether they considered building on a more modern protocol specification than RTP (which is a couple decades old at this point), what they've taken from other more modern protocol specs if they didn't use one directly, or anything aside from that they wrote some code really.
