Using Amazon S3 and CloudFront is great way to implement Flash Streaming. The set-up is straightforward and uses Adobe’s Flash Media Servers. For those companies, individuals, and organizations looking to get up to speed with streaming quickly this is another good option. You get access to the Adobe Flash Media Server for a much lower price at start-up. The fact that Dynamic Streaming is supported with the Flash Media Server is another reason why many will plan to implement Flash Streaming using Amazon S3 and Cloudfront.

By integrating the controls for Wowza Media Server software into the TCS, TANDBERG can now enable Flash streaming of live and on-demand telepresence and video conference calls and multimedia presentations, providing additional value to customers who can now deliver content to anyone from any device.
According to recent industry reports, one of the few technologies thriving in the current economic environment is video conferencing, which is expected to grow 15 percent in the next five years as businesses continue to look at ways to reduce expenses like travel and drive efficiencies. Integrated, easy to configure, reliable solutions like the TANDBERG Content Server, in combination with Wowza Media Server, deliver even greater value for video investments that can be leveraged for increased knowledge sharing, training, and content development.

We opted to embed it in the TANDBERG Content Server to allow customers to use our standards-based telepresence and video conferencing systems to capture and distribute content in the Flash format, both live and on demand,” said Håkon Dahle, TANDBERG Chief Technologist. “We are also very excited about Wowza’s upcoming multi-protocol, multi-client streaming to any device, which will present even greater value for our customers.”
Wowza Media Server, currently deployed by over 30,000 licensees globally, is a high-performance, extensible and fully interactive Flash media server for live and on-demand streaming, chat, and recording.

Telestream’s Wirecast encoding tool version 3.5.1 was already an amazing tool for live streaming but things just got better. Now Wirecast has support for Flash live streaming in the H.264 flavor. This brings a much needed improvement for those doing live encoding on the Mac platform. One catch is you’ll need to have an Intel based Mac to have the new Flash encoding support. PC users also benefit from the latest release but it’s not as important because PC users already have live encoding tools such as On2 Flix live and Flash Media Live Encoder to choose from. Both On2 Flix live and Flash Media Live Encoder are not available on the Mac platform. So, certainly the Wirecast 3.5.1 release will make Mac folks happy. Buffering is also much better with this latest version. For those doing live encoding with Wowza Media System’s Wowza Media Server Pro you can improve your buffer times for Flash Streaming by going with Wirecast over using QuickTime Broadcaster. Many thanks to Telestream for the much need Flash Live encoding support for Mac users.
