Reliable Delivery

A persistent connection between
the FMS2 and Flash Player
ensures that your audio and
video are delivered in the best
possible manner.

Bandwidth Detection

Detects the client’s connection speed

and serves up the appropriate bit rate

video. No more confusing “Choose Size

of Video” messages for your users.

Automatic Player Detection

Ensure a smooth viewing experience

with video encoded in the right format.

FMS2 automatically serves up video

that’s compatible with the user’s version

of Flash Player.

Dynamic Buffering

Programmatically set the buffer to the

precise setting for the fastest start time

based on the length and bitrate of the

video and the client connection speed.

This provides the fastest possible

start and enables videos that have a

higher bit rate than the client connection

speed to be delivered in the most

optimal manner.

Quality of Service Monitoring

Track the playback experience on the

client and correct unforeseen playback

problems due to network congestion

in real time.

Firewall and Proxy Traversal

Quickly test multiple port and protocol

combinations to bypass firewalls and prox-

ies and choose the fastest connection.

Advanced Media Applications

Programmatic control of your
streams and media assets enables
innovative media applications.

Playlist and Ad-Insertion Support

Use standard XML formats such as

SMIL or ASX for delivering client-side

or server-side playlists and monetize

content with in-stream pre-roll and

interstitial ads.

Live Video Streaming and Recording

Capture and stream live audio and video

from any OS-recognized camera and

microphone source simply by plugging

the camera into a USB or Firewire port.

Camera APIs enable developers to

specify video capture parameters

dynamically. Captured video is

broadcast to others in real time and can

be recorded to disc on the server.

Multiuser Communications

Create innovative video communication

applications such as rich media chat

rooms, video blogging, video messaging,

multiuser games, and more using

multiway, multiuser streaming and

remote Shared Object technology for

synchronizing data among multiple users.

Secure Media Delivery

Flash Media Server 2 provides
the most secure way to deliver
audio and video through Flash.

No Client Cache

Because media is not saved to the

client’s cache when streamed, users

are unable to look through their

temporary Internet files folders to

access video or MP3 files.

Authentication

FMS2 provides a number of approach-

es to authenticate users prior to serving

video streams. Server configuration

controls, remote script execution, and

the ability to run external authentication

processes such as hash key verification

provide you with many flexible options

for securing streams for single sign-on

systems, preventing deep linking, or

offering pay-per-view content.

Encrypted Delivery

With support built into both the server

and client, streams can be encrypted

during delivery for the ultimate protection.

Scalability, Reliability,
and Performance

FMS2 is enterprise-ready, scaling
to meet increased media demands.

Origin and Edge Servers

Provide the optimal deployment

for large-scale media applications,

or simplify load balancing, failover,

and clustering. Scale with multiple Edge

servers to manage bandwidth, traffic,

and processing while giving the Origin

server a single view to reports, logs,

media assets, and application logic.

Multiple Processes

FMS2 can be configured to run virtual

hosts, applications, or instances in

isolated individual processes providing

for complete reliability.

Complements Existing
Infrastructure

Flash Media Server 2 will fit in
seamlessly with your existing
infrastructure.

Backend System Integration

With support for Remoting, File objects,

XML objects, sockets, and streams,

including support for Jabber® XML

streams, FMS2 offers a number of ways

to integrate with application servers and

media asset management systems for

retrieval of meta-data information.

Multiplatform Support

FMS2 runs on both Microsoft®

Windows® and Linux servers on

standard server hardware giving you

the flexibility to choose the platform that

best suits your needs for deployment in

your existing infrastructure.

Logging

W3C-compliant ASCII logs, a real-time

usage monitor, and a complete API for

server and stream events ensure that

publishers have all the tools they need

to track and generate reports on the

content usage.
