Flash Platform for TV
The Adobe Flash Platform enables developers and content providers to extend rich media experiences and interactivity to the television. Adobe has been working with OSP partners like Samsung, LGE, Tivo, Google, Broadcom, STMicroelectronics, Intel, and others to optimize the Flash runtimes for the next generation of smart TVs, Blu-ray players, and set-top boxes.
Content providers and developers looking to bring their applications, videos, and games to TV screens can rely on proven content creation and development tools as well as new capabilities introduced in Adobe Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR 3 to create cross-platform, multiscreen experiences.
New in AIR 3 for TV is support for Stage 3D, a new set of APIs that enable cross-platform development of hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics.
Below is a set of introductory videos and tutorials for application developers and the AIR for TV documentation for system developers of silicon vendors and OEMs.
