RTP audio video profile

Imagine you want to watch a video on your computer or phone with your friend who is very far away. How can you do that? You can use something called RTP audio video profile.

RTP stands for Real-time Transport Protocol. It is like a playground where audio and video can play together and be sent from one device to another without getting lost.

When the audio and video are sent, they need to have some rules. These rules are called profiles. Think of it like a list of instructions that tell the audio and video how to behave in the playground.

Different devices like to use different profiles. So, RTP audio video profile makes sure that the audio and video sent from one device can be understood by the other device.

For example, if you are using a phone to send audio and video to your friend who is using a computer, the RTP audio video profile helps you both understand each other’s audio and video.

In simpler words, RTP audio video profile is like a translator between different devices to make sure the audio and video can be sent and understood properly.
