Key Advantages
Adobe Media Server 5 Professional provides numerous video streaming innovations—over 
standard HTTP connections as well as RTMP delivery.
Increase your audience—Reach the widest possible audience by delivering protected content 
to Apple iOS, Android, Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe AIR® applications. With HTTP Live 
Streaming (HLS) to Apple® iPad® and other Apple iOS devices—plus protected HLS (pHLS) for 
iOS and protected HTTP Dynamic Streaming (pHDS) for Flash Player—the video experience 
can now be delivered smoothly and securely to more platforms and devices, with adaptive 
bitrate support to reach audiences without disruption.
More protection options to secure video across platforms and devices—Adobe Access 
software optimized for streaming to Flash Player uses new cacheable key delivery and does not 
require a license server or manual encryption of content. For full Digital Rights Management 
(DRM) business rules, easily add on full Flash Access compatibility. For Apple iPad and other 
iOS devices, use encrypted HLS for iOS with secure key exchange and device binding to protect 
your media.
Simplify video publishing workflows—Adobe Media Server 5 Professional streamlines media 
publishing workflows with support for On-Demand stream packaging for HTTP streaming. 
Now your media can be packaged and protected on-the-fly for HTTP delivery for iOS, Android, 
Flash Player, and connected TVs with full adaptive bitrate support, file caching, and optional 
encryption.
Take control of your streaming—Turn your media server into a full-featured HTTP origin 
server with more resilient HTTP origin services. Add fault tolerance, manage QoS, control stream 
access and protection, access new features quickly, and leverage cloud services by operating 
your own media origin server for both HDS for Flash Player and HLS for Apple iOS. 
Advanced manifest and playlist support—Set-level F4M manifests for Flash Player and Variant 
M3U8 playlist support enable media players to easily leverage adaptive bitrate streaming, 
simplifying the production workflows and integration with your content management systems.
Scalable real-time communication—Achieve massive scale for P2P communication across 
multiple servers with P2P introduction forwarding for RTMFP. Network Address Translation 
(NAT) for P2P maintains uninterrupted P2P communication when switching between networks. 
Higher-quality video (H.264) and audio capture inside Flash Player and AIR lets you develop 
applications for desktop and mobile devices such as business communication tools that 
leverage traditional VoIP systems.
Optimize network efficiencies for the enterprise—Publish into your corporate or broadcast 
network with higher quality using multicast. Adobe Media Server Extended 5 supports 
Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) and Any-Source Multicast (ASM) plus multicast ingest, recording, 
and re-transmission to add scale and resiliency. Multicast fusion with peer-assisted networking 
is supported in both Adobe Media Server 5 Professional and Adobe Media Server 5 Extended. 
Turnkey solution—Use the latest streaming features out of the box, such as Protected HTTP 
Dynamic Streaming, multitrack audio, multicast streaming, DVR functionality, and HTTP 
Dynamic Streaming, and prepackaging of HTTP streams—with the choice of a prebuilt player, 
hosted player, or full Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) for developing custom players. 
Enhanced tools for generating multicast addresses and creating manifest files for HTTP 
streaming simplify publishing workflow and are built right into the server.
