Use cases:
Course Curriculum
An online university offers its entire catalog of courses on a remote-access platform. With the interactive and video streaming features of Flash Media Server, the school can provide a learning experience that closely assimilates a live classroom. Live video, audio, and chat — with secure testing — enables the university to offer affordable classes and scale to almost any number of students. Open Source Media Framework gives the school a solid foundation for its video player, so it can spend more time optimizing the user experience, and Flash Media Server provides the security of stream encryption and SWF file verification.

Sporting Events
The women's basketball team at a mid-sized university has been having a series of very successful seasons. The games consistently sell out, shutting out many die-hard fans. With FMS, the university can set up a pay-per-view web broadcast for those who couldn't get tickets, raising additional revenue to support the school. Their player is based on the Open Source Media Framework, enabling fast deployment and inclusion of features such as DVR functionality and trick modes (slow-motion, fast play). To ensure only those who paid view the stream, content protection is applied with Flash Access, along Flash Media Server's stream encryption and SWF Verification. Viewers can watch the game right in their browsers in Flash Player.
