  • Video: the New Vernacular
    Adobe Flash Media Server Success Story Indiana University Video: the new vernacular Indiana University integrates online video into teaching, learning, research, and administration on an enterprise scale using the Adobe® Flash® Platform Indiana University Media, and video in particular, are in a period of profound growth. There are several Bloomington, Indiana causes, but three stand out: technologies that have rendered media creation, www.iu.edu distribution, and consumption faster and less costly; high expectations for the availability of video; and the need to create engaging experiences in a world where rich media is the norm. The demand for video is more apparent than ever in higher education, where students experience video on the Internet and social media sites in their personal lives, and expect to consume video as part of their daily learning and exploration as well. When Indiana University (IU)—a leader in integrating technology into teaching, learning, research, and administration—asked how to keep a technically savvy, global student body engaged and motivated to learn it knew that video, not more textbooks, was the answer. Today, whether IU is hosting a live streaming event with a renowned business leader, offering a lecture on demand to global students located from India to South America, or enabling researchers to peruse digital video archives, the university relies on the Adobe Flash Platform, including Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server software. Students at Indiana University learn through immersive, engaging experiences supported by the Adobe Flash Platform. Challenge “We did a careful evaluation of the competing platforms for delivering online video to a global user base • Integrate video into teaching, of many thousands,” says Matt Gunkel, multimedia specialist for Indiana University.

MAPS)157 3 Hello Spark: primitives, components, FXG and MXML graphics, and even video n this chapter, you’ll start learning Spark, which is the new set of components, containers, and I graphics primitives in Flex 4. This will be a “how- to” chapter: we’ll save diving into the Spark component model until the next chapter (which discusses view states, containers, CSS styling, and skinning). This chapter provides enough examples of using Spark that when it comes time to tackle the theory you’ll have plenty of examples in your head. In four of the five workshop sessions in this chap- ter, we’ll build a fairly small, self-contained Tes- ter.mxml app that has all the code in the example. In session 14, however, I’ll mix things up a little: we’ll build an “Only Connect” game (that bears strong resemblance to a certain trademarked game). We’ll start with a game board that I drew in Adobe Illustrator and saved as FXG. (I’m pro- viding the FXG file I created, so you don’t need to have Adobe Illustra- tor.) We’ll then build a fully functioning game based on this FXG, before 50 SESSION 11 Spark primitives 51 refactoring it and then adding logic for detecting victory.

Všetky zdroje, pramene a literatúru, ktoré som pri vypracovaní používal alebo z nich ˇcerpal,v práci riadne citujem s uvedením úplného odkazu na prís- lušný zdroj. Vedúci práce: RNDr. David Šafránek, Ph.D. ii Pod’akovanie Dakujemˇ svojmu vedúcemu bakalárskej práce RNDr. Davidovi Šafránkovi, Ph.D. za pomoc, ochotu a strpenie, ktoré mi venoval pri tvorbe tejto práce. Taktiež d’akujem svojej rodine za podporu poˇcascelého štúdia a všetkým, ktorí mi akýmkol’vek spôsobom pomohli pri spracovaní tejto bakalárskej práce. iii Zhrnutie Vd’aka vysokej rozšírenosti technológie Flash a výkonu dnešných poˇcítaˇcovmôžeme im- plementovat’ aplikácie a hry bez nutnosti inštalácie. Táto práca zh´rˇnaspôsoby komunikácie klientov Flash a prehl’ad dostupných protokolov. V rámci práce boli jednoduchým nástro- jom otestované dva najrozšírenejšie protokoly pre Flash – HTTP a RTMP. Súˇcast’ou práce je ukážková aplikácia využívajúca RTMP pre spojenie klient-server a RTMFP pre peer-to-peer komunikáciu. iv Abstract Because of the great expansion of Flash technology and thanks to the performance of mod- ern computers we’re able to implement applications and games without the necessity of installing them. This thesis includes various possibilities of communication between Flash clients and an overview of available protocols. As a part of this thesis two most common protocols for Flash – HTTP and RTMP – were tested by a simple custom tool. The practical part is a demo application which uses RTMP for a client-server and RTMFP for peer-to-peer communication.

  • The Changing Landscape of Video Delivery in the Enterprise Efficient, Scalable Streaming with the Adobe® Flash® Platform
    White Paper The Changing Landscape of Video Delivery in the Enterprise Efficient, Scalable Streaming with the Adobe® Flash® Platform By Lisa Larson‐Kelley Web Video Consultant MediaPlatform, Inc. 8383 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 750 Los Angeles, CA 90211 (310) 909‐8410 www.mediaplatform.com [email protected] Copyright © 2011 by Lisa Larson‐Kelley THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF VIDEO DELIVERY IN THE ENTERPRISE Introduction This document is for IT professionals and other decision makers who want to understand the sweeping changes happening in enterprise video today. We will discuss new technologies and solutions that can help you deliver richer interactive video content while actually reducing costs. You’ll see how you can use your existing infrastructure to deliver full‐featured, cost‐effective streaming across your entire enterprise ‐‐ without the complexity you may have encountered in the past. Why Streaming Within the Enterprise is Different Streaming media has the potential to revolutionize communication within large organizations. It can help drive collaboration and provide consistent and timely communication that reaches everyone, regardless of their location. Unfortunately, this potential is often limited by the realities of budget‐ strained corporate networks and shortcomings in video delivery solutions. With the rapid growth being seen in online media consumption, managing network traffic efficiently has never been more important. Multicast delivery is one very effective way to manage bandwidth when dealing with large‐scale broadcasts of video and audio data. While multicast solutions such as Windows Media have traditionally met the basic needs of enterprise customers for bandwidth‐efficient streaming, there is a growing demand for interactivity and wider reach.
