Adobe touts Flash Server 3

New versions now offer video streaming

Written by Shaun Nichols in California

Adobe has unveiled the latest versions of Flash Server allowing site owners to stream content to users via Flash media files.

The addition of video streaming has been a major selling point for the Flash 3 line, which also includes client software for PCs and mobile phones.

Flash Server 3 comes in two packages. Smaller businesses will be offered the $995 Flash Media Streaming Server to stream conventional and HD video content.

High-end users will be offered the $4,500 Flash Media Interactive Streaming server, which also includes support for DRM and access control software along with bundled software tools.

The two new packages will also support the Flash Lite mobile plug-in, and Adobe's Air software which allows web-based Flash applications to be used offline.
