Windows Media Porting Kits: Other Windows Media Technologies April 2008
Source packages and technical specifications for several Windows Media technologies are available in the Windows Media Networking Protocols Porting Kit.
Windows Media Networking Protocols Porting KitThe contents of the Windows Media Networking Protocols Porting Kit are grouped into two categories:
Source Packages
Technical Specification
Source PackagesThe Windows Media Networking Protocols Porting Kit contains the following two source packages:Windows Media real-time streaming protocol extensions (RTSP) source package The Windows Media RTSP source package is designed to enable OEMs and other authorized developers to stream Windows Media-based audio and video content over wired networks using the RTSP protocol. This Windows Media RTSP source package includes source code for the RTSP Client, which accepts an RTSP stream from a computer running Windows Server 2003 and Windows Media Services. The Windows Media RTSP source package also contains system requirements, usage notes, and information about the application programming interfaces (APIs) that are exposed by the source package. Note The Windows Media RTSP source package is provided without technical support from Microsoft.
RTSP Windows Media Video (WMV) 9 integrations package The RTSP WMV 9 integrations package provides additional files and directions necessary to integrate the Windows Media RTSP source package with a licensed Windows Media Video decoder package. Note In addition to the Windows Media Networking Protocols Porting Kit, you must license both the Windows Media Video decoder and the Window Media Audio decoder in order to receive the RTSP WMV 9 integrations package.
Technical SpecificationThe Windows Media Networking Protocols Technical Specification contains the following:MS-WMSP: Windows Media HTTP Streaming Protocol This specification defines a Microsoft proprietary protocol referred to as the Windows Media HTTP Streaming Protocol. The Windows Media HTTP Streaming Protocol is a client/server–based protocol used to stream real-time data between the client (the receiver of streaming data) and server (the sender of streaming data). MS-RTSP: Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP): Windows Media Extensions This document defines Windows Media extensions to the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), as specified in [RFC2326]. RTSP streams multimedia from Windows Media Services to Windows Media Player or other instances of Windows Media Services. RTSP Windows Media Extensions use TCP and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). MS-MSB: Media Stream Broadcast (MSB) Protocol The Media Stream Broadcast (MSB) Protocol is a Microsoft proprietary protocol that allows distribution of Advanced Systems Format (ASF) packets over a network for which Internet Protocol (IP) multicast is enabled. MS-MSBD: Media Stream Broadcast Distribution (MSBD) protocol The Media Stream Broadcast Distribution (MSBD) Protocol is a Microsoft proprietary protocol that is used for transferring an audio-visual content stream from a server to a single client or multiple clients. MS-MMSP: Microsoft Media Server (MMS) Protocol This specification defines a Microsoft proprietary protocol referred to as the Microsoft Media Server (MMS) Protocol. MMS streams multimedia from Windows Media Services to Windows Media Player, or to another instance of Windows Media Services. MMS uses TCP and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). MS-WMLOG: Windows Media Log Data Structure This specification defines the Windows Media Log Data Structure, a Microsoft proprietary interface. The Windows Media Log Data Structure is syntax for logging messages. The logging messages specify information about how a client received multimedia content from a streaming server. For example, logging messages can specify how many packets were received and how long it took for the client to receive the content.
Technical Specification Delivery
Delivery and control of the Networking Protocols Technical Specification is managed across Microsoft by the Microsoft Communications Protocol Program (MCPP). This program makes available, on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, the communications protocols implemented in a Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP, or successor desktop operating system that are used to interoperate or communicate natively with a Microsoft server operating system product. More than 80 proprietary protocols that were not previously available are now available for license by third parties.
The Microsoft Communications Protocol Program (MCPP) technical documentation is now available on this MSDN Web site.

High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) Consumer Decoding TechnologyHDCD decoding technology is designed to decode HDCD recordings. The technology contains the HDCD high-precision digital filter that improves the sound quality of all types of digital audio recordings. HDCD decoding and filtering is designed to deliver the full richness and detail of the original microphone feed.
The source package includes applicable specifications, associated documentation, and libraries in object code form, as well as media, printed materials, and online or electronic documentation.
