Adobe Media Server 5 Extended / Features

Package content for a single digital rights management (DRM) workflow that targets the desktop, connected TVs, tablets, and smartphones, including iOS and Android platforms, when you include Adobe Access 4 software (available separately).

Expand your audience to include iOS devices with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). With the same media and live streams as those used for Flash Player compatible playback, you can deliver and protect full adaptive bitrate experiences to iOS devices as well as HTML5-enabled browsers.

Protect and monetize your HD video with easy-to-use content protection built on Adobe Access software, with no additional DRM license servers. Add massive scale and robust protection to your media assets or live streams.

Protect your content streamed to desktop and devices using HTTP with reduced complexity thanks to real-time encryption, cacheable key delivery, and player binding.

Dynamically segment and encrypt content with the Adobe Access DRM policy for HLS on iOS. Apply sophisticated business rules and policies to support premium video experiences for live, linear, and on-demand video.

Control access to your content using server and player tokens. Adobe Media Server can process tokens against separate web services to grant or deny access.

Protect unauthorized video players from playing your video, saving bandwidth costs and protecting your monetization efforts. Use your SWF video player or a new SWF hashing tool to create unique encryption keys for RTMP, RTMFP, and HTTP delivery.

Control access to domains and IP addresses to protect your live or on-demand video streams or communications.

Securely access deep performance metrics, change configurations, and set alarms through customized interfaces supporting web services or within custom Flash Player interfaces, giving you advanced control and integration.

Enable secure video, audio, and data message transport to and from Flash Player compatible devices. The multiway RTMP protocol can be encrypted as well as tunneled over HTTP.

Simplify the delivery and security of your live enterprise events and communication. With RTMPE, multicast and P2P streaming to Flash Player is always encrypted.

Keep your video stream playing while managing your storage disks thanks to disk management for live HTTP streaming. You can safely deliver rich, live experiences with rolling DVR windows, time shifting, and instant replay.

Generate manifest files more easily and with fewer errors with new tools that eliminate the need to manually create F4M and M3u8 files for live and VOD delivery to a variety of devices.

Maximize server resources with full 64-bit support that enables more memory cache, better network performance, less disruption, and faster stream starts.

Get the tools you need to track and generate reports on content delivery, server performance, and access using W3C-compliant ASCII logs.

Increase QoS by taking advantage of differentiated services for RTMP. Administrators can prioritize RTMP network traffic, reducing disruption caused by other network activity.

Monitor the performance of your entire server cluster from a single interface, allowing you to manage the server and perform operations easily on servers, streams, sessions, and clients.

Use advanced access controls to extend the server for custom authentication, monitoring, and media location mapping required for robust deployment into your content delivery network.

Thanks to a server-side programming architecture, develop custom streaming and communication services that integrate within your network, consume or control external services, create server-side playlists, or archive media to disk.

Increase the capacity and fault tolerance of your social or enterprise video and voice apps with new server chaining technology that lets operators distribute peer introductions across multiple servers.

Develop multiplayer games; softphone, voice, and video chat apps; and other large data-driven applications securely within your business while significantly reducing costs through the RTMFP protocol.

Integrate devices and conferencing technologies with a unified communication application using new SIP gateway services. Connect people to conference rooms, mobile phones, or other SIP-enabled communication services using Flash Player or Adobe AIR® apps.

Create new social and game apps with higher quality video and voice communication that can be used across multiple devices that support Flash Player or Adobe AIR, including Android, iOS, and most web browsers and SIP-enabled devices.

Deliver high-definition video up to 1080p, with bitrates from 700 Kbps up to and beyond 6Mbps, using either H264 or VP6 video codecs, or AAC and MP3 audio codecs.

Experience full adaptive bitrate streaming with fast, high-quality switching on desktop, iOS, and Andriod to avoid any stuttering or delays caused by CPU performance or bandwidth limitations.

Spend more time with live video events and give the viewer control over your live stream with pause and seek backwards, instant replay, or play from start with robust server DVR support for RTMP, HTTP Dynamic Streaming, and HLS for iOS.
