Top reasons to buy Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3
Major performance gains
Video streaming performance more than 
doubles with Flash Media Streaming Server 3, 
allowing more streams and users per server. 
These performance and scaling enhancements, 
combined with new pricing, offer a high-
quality, more secure alternative to progressive 
download.
More secure content delivery
With an enhanced version of Adobe Real Time 
Messaging Protocol (RTMP), which is called 
RTMPE, you get higher performance and 
128-bit encryption to help secure streamed 
media and communication. A new verification 
feature protects SWF files from being reused 
or modified and helps prevent unauthorized 
connections.
Live video support
By using Flash Media Streaming Server in 
conjunction with Flash Media Encoder 2,  
you can stream robust, high-performance live 
H.264 and On2VP6 video to a higher volume of 
subscribers in real time. Deliver 24x7 live video 
feeds for news, sports, concerts, events, and 
social media sites.
unlimited bandwidth and connections
Flash Media Streaming Server 3 provides 
single server support with no restriction on 
the amount of bandwidth streamed or number 
of connected users. To provide even more 
capacity, upgrade to Flash Media Interactive 
Server, which features an Origin/Edge 
architecture with virtually unlimited  
scaling potential.
H.264 video and HE-AAc audio support
Industry-standard H.264 video and HE-AAC 
audio streaming provide support for up to 
1080p HD delivery to users of Adobe Flash 
Player, Adobe AIR, and Adobe Media Player. 
Broad industry support of H.264 video lets you 
leverage most of your existing encoded content 
without re-encoding, which can help reduce 
your delivery costs and provide a better 
investment in a video format for the future.
Mobile delivery to Flash Lite 3
Deliver live and video-on-demand streams to a 
growing number of mobile phones that support 
the Flash Lite 3 platform. The same video 
experience in the browser can now also be 
delivered seamlessly to mobile devices.
Logging
W3C-compliant ASCII logs, a real-time usage 
monitor, and a complete API for server and 
stream events ensure that you have all the 
tools you need to track your audience’s usage 
and generate reports.
Network efficiency
Unlike progressive download, streaming with 
Flash Media Streaming Server 3 uses only the 
bandwidth required to transfer the bits the 
client is viewing.
Bandwidth detection
Eliminate “choose size of video” messages to 
end users by automatically detecting the client 
connection speed and serving video at the 
appropriate bit rate.
Advanced seek
Enable your viewers to immediately jump to 
any part of the video, regardless of the length 
of the video or whether it has fully downloaded.
