Digital Rapids Supports Adobe Technology

Digital Rapids is further
expanding the company's acclaimed live streaming flexibility with support for
H.264 streaming through Adobe Flash Media Server 3 to Adobe Flash Player and
Adobe AIR applications, bringing Digital Rapids' exceptional H.264 encoding
quality to live web audiences.
Support for H.264 (also known
as AVC, or MPEG-4 Part 10) streaming through Adobe Flash Media Server is
available for the StreamZ Live family of live streaming encoders, and for
Digital Rapids' StreamZ and StreamZHD media encoding servers as an add-on
option. For large-scale deployments and critical applications, Digital Rapids
systems supporting H.264 streaming for Adobe Flash technology can be combined
with the Digital Rapids Broadcast Manager software for enterprise-level,
multi-encoder management, monitoring, scheduling and fault tolerance.
The new support for live
streaming through Adobe Flash Media Server in the H.264 compression format
continues Digital Rapids' rich history of providing robust, premium encoding
and streaming capabilities for viewing experiences powered by Adobe Flash
technology. Media can be encoded, streamed and archived in the H.264 format in
parallel with a variety of other delivery formats (including VP6, VC-1 and
MPEG-2), enabling the broadest possible audience reach to multiple platforms
and devices.
"Digital Rapids offers a
full range of professional solutions enabling both live and on-demand media
experiences," said Laurel Reitman, senior product manager for Flash Media
Solution Services at Adobe. "With the addition of support for live H.264
streaming through Flash Media Server to Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR
applications, Digital Rapids' encoding, transcoding and streaming solutions are
ideal complements for helping leading studios, broadcast networks and service
providers bring compelling content to the web, the desktop and mobile devices
using Adobe Flash technology."
"We're pleased to be
working with Adobe to support H.264 streaming through Adobe Flash Media Server
to experiences based on Flash technology," said Brian Stevenson, Director
of Product Management at Digital Rapids. "StreamZ Live, StreamZ and
StreamZHD are ideal solutions for content providers who want a premium H.264
encoding and streaming platform to reach web audiences at the highest possible
quality."
