Introducing Flash Media Encoding Server

Today we are proud to publicly release Adobe Flash Media Encoding Server. As part of the Flash Media Server family, the new Flash Media Encoding Server (FMES) will allow you to do the following:

• Take your catalog of archived materials and convert them easily into formats compatible with Flash
• Integrate the server into your production workflow by offloading the encoding process from your editors' machines to a dedicated server
• Ingest user-generated content from a variety of formats and prepare it to stream through Flash Player
• Encode high-quality video files into multiple bitrates to accommodate changing network conditions

FMES provides a fast and scalable, customizable server solution for preparing your content from a vast range of formats for delivery through the ubiquitous Flash Player, Adobe Flash Lite (mobile), and Adobe Media Player.

Flash Media Encoding Server is being introduced for US$6000.
