What is a .SDP file?
The .SDP file extension stands for Session Description Protocol File. This type of file is used in media broadcasting and contains important details about streamed media. These details include the format of the media, when it will play, and who created it. The .SDP file can be used for different purposes: it might be set up for media that is being streamed live, using software like Sorenson Broadcaster, or it could be for media that has been pre-recorded and is being organized with a tool like PlaylistBroadcaster.
To view or use .SDP files, you can use various media players and programs. Some of the popular ones include: 1. **RealNetworks RealPlayer 20/20+** - A well-known program that can open and play .SDP files. 2. **VideoLAN VLC media player** - A versatile media player that supports a wide range of file formats, including .SDP. 3. **Apple QuickTime Player** - This player is included with some operating systems and can handle .SDP files. 4. **Macgo Mac Media Player** - Another option for Mac users to open and play .SDP files. 5. **VideoLAN VLC media player** - Mentioned again for its strong compatibility with various file types.
For the .SDP file to work correctly, especially in cases of streaming, it needs to be placed in the correct directory on the streaming server. This ensures that the file is accessed and transmitted properly during the streaming process.
