Protected HTTP streaming for Flash Player

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

Robust media origin services

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 Flash Player and iOS HTTP streaming.

Scalable P2P introduction services for Flash Player

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.

On-demand packaging for HTTP new

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

Adaptive bitrate manifest support new

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

Adobe Flash Access DRM support new

Apply sophisticated business rules and policies to support premium video experiences for live, linear, and on-demand video thanks to robust DRM support with Adobe Flash Access® software.

Advanced disk management for HTTP new

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..

HLS file format for iOS new

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.

Dynamic Streaming

Maintain a steady playback experience without interruption due to network loss or limited CPU resources. Dynamic Streaming is supported using RTMP or HTTP protocols for Flash Player compatible devices and HTTP for iOS.

Application-level multicast

Reduce delivery costs and infrastructure for massive-scale live media delivery over internal and public networks using P2P technology built into Flash Player.

Mobile and device support

Enjoy support for full adaptive bitrate live and on-demand video to millions of smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs running operating systems such as Android™, QNX/BlackBerry®, and iOS.

DVD style seeking (trick modes)

Give your audience responsive interactive access to your video stream with high-performance seek, fast forward, slow motion, frame step, and rewind, efficiently using a client buffer to optimize server performance.

HDS file format support for Flash Player

Stream with HDS using the F4F format, based on industry-standard MPEG-4 and supported by Flash Player. F4F support includes adaptive bitrate for both live and on-demand video and also supports DRM protection with Flash Access.

High-quality audio and video capture new

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.

P2P introduction forwarding for RTMFP new

Increase capacity and improve fault tolerance for P2P communication and multicast by distributing the P2P introductions across multiple servers that are working together.

Fast seeking

Let viewers navigate video quickly with responsive seeking direct from the Flash Player buffer, which also reduces server load and increases performance and capacity.

Real-time encryption for multicast and P2P

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

Token authentication

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

Server redirection

Automatically provide video players with new or alternate locations if content is missing using built-in redirection in RTMP similar to HTTP 302 redirection.

IP mobility for P2P

Maintain persistent server connections using RTMFP when changing networks, such as 3G to Wi-Fi, between different wireless networks, or from wired connections to wireless connections.

Administration tools

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.

Server logging

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

Network prioritization QoS

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

Extensible plug-in architecture

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.

Peer-assisted networking (P2P)

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.
