RTSP
RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. It establishes and manages media sessions between endpoints, such as between a client and a streaming server, enabling functions like play, pause, and record for audio and video streams. RTSP is commonly used in IP cameras, video-on-demand systems, and live streaming applications.
Developers should learn RTSP when working with real-time audio and video streaming applications, such as surveillance systems, video conferencing, or media delivery platforms. It is essential for controlling media playback and managing streams in scenarios where low-latency and interactive control are required, like in security cameras or live broadcasting.
