Adobe Media Server 5 Professional / 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).

Deliver video using HTTP for Flash Player compatible and iOS devices without preparing the assets ahead of time. On-demand packaging makes publishing easier by requiring one set of video files to deliver to multiple devices with or without Flash Player installed.

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) to add massive scale and robust protection to your media assets or live streams.

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.

Help ensure your video stream will remain 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.

Control your media publishing workflows, add redundancy, control access and protection, manage QoS, access advanced video player features, and leverage cloud services by operating your own media origin for both Adobe® Flash® Player and iOS HTTP streaming.

Enable adaptive bitrate streaming on your media player with adaptive bitrate manifest support. F4M and M3u8 set manifests describe bitrates and file sources for the player. Requires Open Source Media Framework 1.6 for Flash Player compatible or iOS devices.

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.

Enjoy support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), the format for iOS, inside the Safari browser and within apps, including Adobe AIR® for iOS. HLS support includes adaptive bitrate for both live video and video on demand (VOD).

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.

Stream your media to all devices from a high-performance, built-in HTTP server built on Apache.

Deliver an audio-only stream for mobile devices on wireless networks to prevent rebuffering and meet Apple App Store requirements for audio-only bitrate as part of a multibitrate set.
