Adobe brings content controls to Flash video
Posted on 19 March 2008.
Adobe Systems on Wednesday released a new server for putting restrictions on content delivered from its Adobe Flash Media Server. This new server is called Adobe Flash Media Rights Management Server. This new software is aimed at TV and Movie producers who want to manage their content is distributed and viewed.
For example, a content producer could let a user view a video only after seeing an advertisement. The software also allows people to serve up media that can be viewed for only a certain amount of time.
Adobe will also be releasing an accompanying API for Adobe Flash Media Rights Management Server that will allow developers the chance to integrate all of this onto a desktop platform.
Overall, I believe this will offer credibility and comfort to all video publishers. Hopefully, this will help populate the quality of video that will be available on the web.
