SDR (Session Directory Revised)

Below are details on the installation and use of the Session Directory Tool (SDR) Application.

Use of the SDR application is very straight forward. Once the application has been started it will listen for and display details of sessions being announced using the session announcement protocol by sdr and compatible applications.

To join a session simply click on it and then select the media types you wish to receive.

To create a session simply click the new session button and the setup wizard will guide you through the process.

SDR will allow the use of common multicast applications (vic, vat, rat, wbd) that are in your system path, other applications (such as SAT-RMTP) may require the use of plugins. See the specific application documentation for details. For more details of SDR use see this page.
