Features
Include:
- Broadest
Reach
- Flash is the world’s most pervasive software
platform, reaching over 98% of all connected desktops
on the web and distributed with major partners including
Microsoft, Apple, Netscape, and AOL.
- “It
Just Works” - Flash offers consistent media
experiences across operating systems and browsers
freeing up your development staff to work on great
new experiences rather than creating hacks to work
across platforms.
- Lower
Costs - Bypass the need to encode into different
formats and develop multiple versions of your site
to reach multiple platforms. Encode and develop once
and deliver everywhere with Flash Media Server.
- Seamlessly
Integrated - Seamlessly integrate media experiences
directly in your website without having to pop-up
other windows or browsers for a clean, cohesive look.
- Custom
Player - Take control of the look and feel of
your media player to conform to site design specifications
and promote your brands. Build custom players with
unique functionality to differentiate your experience
and retain and engage your audiences.
-
High Quality Video - Support for a new high quality
video codec enables customers to delivery superior
video quality that is competitive with today’s
best video codecs at a much lower bit rate and file
size.
- Instant
“On” - A small, light-weight file format,
protocol and player coupled with a programmable buffer
control on the server enable the FMS streamed media
to start instantly after the play button is selected.
- Bandwidth
Detection - Detect the speed at which the client
connects and serve up the appropriate bit rate video.
No more confusing “Choose Size of Video”
messages to your end-users.
- Custom
Stream Delivery - Flash Media Server automatically
captures connection stats about the end-user and enables
publishers to deliver a video stream to the end-user
based on this information. For example, publishers
who want to take advantage of the new high quality
video codec found in Flash 8, but still want to support
users who connect at Flash 7 or lower can use this
feature to serve Flash 8 video to everyone who connects
with Flash Player 8 while serving normal Flash Video
to everyone connecting with Flash Player 6 or 7.
- Dynamic
Buffering - Programmatically set the buffer to
the precise setting for the fastest start time based
on the length and bitrate of the video and the client
connection speed. Provides the fastest possible start
and enables videos that have a higher bit rate than
the client connection speed to be delivered to the
in the most optimal manner.
- Quality
of Service Monitoring - Track the playback experience
on the client and correct unforeseen playback problems
due to network congestion in real-time.
- Firewall
and Proxy Traversal - Quickly test multiple port
and protocol combinations to bypass firewalls and
proxies and choose the fastest connection.

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.
