Stream FLV, the video file format compatible with Adobe Flash Player, from a reliable content delivery network

With Adobe Flash Media Server software and integrated directly into the CDN delivery, tracking, and reporting infrastructure, Flash Video Streaming Service (FVSS) Suntel provides the most effective way to deliver FLV to the largest possible audience without the hassle of setting up and maintaining your own streaming server hardware and network.

Features and benefits

All FVSS providers offer the following capabilities to help ensure the best delivery for your Flash Player compatible video content:

  • Built-in load balancing and failover to scale video even in the heaviest traffic
  • Video streaming that starts the instant viewers click Play
  • A high-performance network that helps ensure that video isn't hung up on the Internet
  • Automatic tracking and report generation at the click of a button
  • Flexible bandwidth and storage based on client needs

Stream protected, high-quality live and on-demand video

Adobe® Flash® Media Streaming Server 3.5 software is a more secure and affordable step up from using progressive download to deliver video. It offers a superior video experience, with new features such as Dynamic Streaming, HTTP delivery support, and H.264 enhancements that allow for smooth streaming on the web to the Adobe Flash Player runtime, to mobile phones with Adobe Flash Lite™ 3 software, and to Adobe Media Player software.

Smoother streaming experience

Keep your viewers longer with a better viewing experience, no matter what their connection speed. Dynamic Streaming, in support of multibitrate streaming, is a new quality-of-service monitoring feature that lets you detect any changes in your viewer's bandwidth and smoothly switch between streams during playback — helping to ensure a high-quality, uninterrupted stream.

Dynamic Streaming

Keep your viewers longer with multibitrate streaming in Adobe® Flash® Media Streaming Server 3.5 software, offering a high-quality, uninterrupted viewing experience. This new quality-of-service monitoring feature uses standard H.264 and VP6 files and is ActionScript® controlled.

Integrated HTTP server

Help ensure that your content is easily and reliably delivered, even when RTMP delivery is not supported (for example, in Japan). Use this integrated solution to deliver all components of your video application via HTTP when needed.

More secure content delivery

Lock down your high-definition content and communications with enhanced stream protection and server-side security. Encrypted H.264 streaming is now supported — with the encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPE), you get higher performance at 128-bit encryption strength. Protect SWF files from being reused or modified, and help prevent unauthorized connections with improved SWF verification.

Unlimited bandwidth and users

Take advantage of 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 3.5, which features an Origin/Edge architecture with virtually unlimited scaling potential.

Major performance gains

Deliver more streams and users per server — video streaming performance more than doubles in Flash Media Server 3.5. These performance and scaling enhancements, combined with new pricing, make high-quality, more secure Flash Media Server streaming an attractive alternative to progressive download.

H.264 video and HE-AAC audio

Enable up to 1080p HD delivery to the Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR™ runtimes, as well as Adobe Media Player software, with industry-standard H.264 video and HE-AAC audio streaming. Given the broad support of H.264 video in the industry, customers can leverage most of their existing encoded content without having to reencode, helping reduce the cost of delivery.

Live video support

Get robust, high-performance live streaming of H.264 and On2 VP6 video in conjunction with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0 software, enabling you to deliver around-the-clock live video feeds for news, events, and social media sites and support a high volume of subscribers in real time.

Mobile delivery to Adobe Flash Lite 3

Deliver both live and video-on-demand streams to a growing number of mobile phones that support the Adobe Flash Lite™ 3 platform. The same video experience in the browser can now be delivered smoothly to mobile devices.

Logging

Help ensure that you have all the tools you need to track and generate reports on your audience's content usage thanks to W3C-compliant ASCII logs, a real-time usage monitor, and a complete API for server and stream events.

Network efficiency

Stream video using only the bandwidth required — unlike progressive download — since the only bits that are viewed are transferred to the client over the network.

Bandwidth detection

Detect the client connection speed and serve up video at the appropriate bit rate, with no "choose size of video" messages to your end users.

Timeshifting seek

Enable your viewers to immediately jump to any part of the video regardless of the length of the video or whether it has all been downloaded yet.
