Flash Media Interactive Server 3
Create
engaging social media services with protected,
scalable video streaming
Adobe®
Flash® Media Interactive Server 3 software
has the unique combination of powerful streaming
media capabilities and a flexible environment
for creating and delivering interactive social
media applications to the broadest possible audience.
|
It
offers dramatically improved performance, more secure
streaming, live streaming enhancements, industry-standard
H.264 and HE-AAC support, and streaming delivery to
mobile phones with Adobe Flash Lite™ 3 and Adobe
Media Player software.
What's
New:
Major performance gains
Video streaming performance more than doubles in Flash
Media Server 3, allowing more streams and users per
server. Incorporating features previously found in the
Edge and Origin Editions, Flash Media Interactive Server
can serve as either an Origin or an Edge to allow for
virtually unlimited scalability.
More secure content delivery
Flash Media Interactive Server 3 features RTMPE, an
enhanced version of Adobe's Real Time Messaging Protocol
(RTMP), with higher performance and 128-bit encryption
to help secure streamed media and communication. A new
verification feature protects SWF files from being reused,
modified, or hosted in unauthorized locations. The new
plug-in architecture can also be used to create custom
authorization adaptors, such as validation with an external
LDAP server.
Features Include:
Live video support
Robust, high-performance live streaming of H.264 and
On2 VP6 video is supported in conjunction with Flash
Media Encoder 2, providing around-the-clock live video
feeds for news, events, and social media sites in order
to deliver content and support a high volume of subscribers
in real time.
H.264 video and HE-AAC audio
Industry-standard H.264 video and HE-AAC audio streaming
provide support for up to 1080p HD delivery to Adobe
Flash Player, Adobe AIR™, and Adobe Media Player.
Given the broad support of H.264 video in the industry,
customers can leverage most of their existing encoded
content without having to re-encode, helping reduce
the cost of delivery.
Mobile video delivery to Flash Lite 3
Both live and video-on-demand streams can be delivered
to a growing number of mobile phones that support the
Adobe Flash Lite™ 3 mobile platform. The same video
experience in the browser can now be delivered smoothly
to mobile devices.
New plug-in architecture
Integrate with other servers, back-end services, and
workflows with the new plug-in architecture. Three classes
of plug-ins for authorization, server access, and file
access allow you to extend Flash Media Interactive Server
3 with custom connectivity, security, and deployment
options.
AMF3 support
The addition of AMF3 support gives you a much more flexible
tool for data sharing and opens even richer possibilities
for interactive applications deployed through Adobe
Flash Player and Adobe Flex™ environments.
Multipoint publishing
Most useful when working with a content delivery network
(CDN) or distributed servers, multipoint publishing
allows you to remotely inject new live or prerecorded
streams into your delivery network to quickly add time-sensitive
content.
Video recording
Archive live streams and multi-way sessions or offer
DVR functionality with stream recording.
Server redirection handling
Stream redirection in RTMP behaves much like HTTP 302
redirection, allowing you to automatically provide the
client with new or alternate locations of missing content.
Stream data access
Create dynamic thumbnails or video previews on the client
side with the ability to take a snapshot of the streamed
video (requires Flash Player 9 or later).
Logging
W3C-compliant ASCII logs, a real-time usage monitor,
and a complete API for server and stream events ensure
that you have all the tools you need to track and generate
reports on your audience’s content usage.
Network
efficiency
Unlike progressive download, Flash Media Server 3 streaming
uses only the bandwidth required since the only bits
that are viewed are transferred to the client over the
network.
Bandwidth
detection
Detect the client connection speed and serve up video
at the appropriate bit rate — no "choose size
of video" messages to your end users.
Advanced
seek feature
Enable your viewers to immediately jump to any part
of the video regardless of the length of the video or
whether it has all been downloaded yet.

Concurrency
Often the number of users who have access to a product
and the number of users who use it are not equal. Provided
that the number of users who are using the software
at one time does not exceed the number of licenses,
the customer can license exactly the number of users
who will be accessing it at one time. This is commonly
referred to as concurrency.
