Features
Peer-assisted networking
Deliver interactive media experiences using RTMFP delivery protocol. Create multiuser games and media communication applications with extreme network efficiencies through peer-assisted networking. Increases delivery capacity as much as 10-fold for enterprises and large-scale social media applications.
Application Multicast
Use peer-assisted networking in Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and later to distribute high-quality secure streams among peers, significantly reducing the network load. Use prebuilt tools and Open Source Media Framework to get started quickly and easily.
Enhanced RTMP Streaming
Take advantage of enhanced functionality in Flash Player 10.1 and later, which gives interactive access to media held in the buffer. Enable features such as trick mode playback (fast motion, slow motion, and frame stepping) as well as allowing the video player to continue to play buffered video while reconnecting to the server if the connection is lost. Enjoy faster switching between streams when using RTMP Dynamic Streaming for adaptive bitrate delivery, which improves the user experience during bandwidth fluctuations. RTMP Dynamic Streaming is a quality-of-service feature that responds to changes in viewers' bandwidth or computing resources and quickly switches between bitrates during playback without disruption.
Security
Create deep access controls such as domain white and black listing, external server authentication, authorization plug-ins, and other custom applications that protect interactive media experiences.
Multiuser experiences for your audience
Deliver breakthrough, engaging environments with enhanced multiuser experiences (such as video chat, VoIP, video overlays, server-side playlists, and server-side recording), plus deeper interactivity through an extensible development architecture and rich server side scripting support.
Absolute Time Code
Ensure that existing time codes persist within media files to allow for richer synchronization between streams, improving interactive experiences (such as switching audio tracks or camera angles) with multibitrate and multistream video and synchronized playback events.
Easier implementation
Get started right away with easy out-of-the box deployment. Flash Media Server for Amazon Web Services™ makes it simple with prebuilt features for live, video on demand, and multiprotocol delivery of encrypted media to Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR®. Simply configure an Amazon EC2 instance to run a Flash Media Server Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and get up and running in minutes.
HTTP Dynamic Streaming
Deliver HD-quality video over standard HTTP network infrastructures with HTTP Dynamic Streaming support for both live and on demand streams. Flash Media Server on Amazon Web Services provides:
- Live packaging
- Origin support
- DVR support
- Real-time manifests
DVR functionality
Archive live, high-definition streams on the server and enable HD DVR functionality (for example, instant replay and time shifting) with support for H.264 stream recording for both RTMP and HTTP Dynamic Streaming. Pause a live stream, or seek backward into the video that was missed.
