What is an NMD file?

NMD files mostly belong to Hikvision Network Media Player. NMD files are used in two distinct ways.
  • Network Video Metadata/Network Media Device Files: These files store configuration and metadata information for network-based video systems. They hold details such as recording settings, timestamps, and device parameters. Systems from companies like HDN2 and Hikvision use these files. For example, the Hikvision Network Media Player relies on these files to manage video data. See more information at Hikvision.
  • Nomads Mod Files: In some cases, NMD files are game mod packages used by the Spring Engine. These files typically use a ZIP format internally to compress game modifications and legacy data, helping players enhance or alter game content. More details are available at SpringRTS.
  • FilExt.com tip: Each version is accessed with specific software: vendor players for network metadata and, potentially, ZIP tools or game mod managers for the Nomads mod files.

    How to open an NMD file

    You need a suitable software like Hikvision Network Media Player to open an NMD file.
