Hello,

Im new to FMS and other Flash technology and I am trying to see whether FMS meets our requirements at my workplace. The following are questions I have had trouble finding answers to on the web, I would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable on the subject could help me find answers to the following:

-Is it possible to interface adobe Flash media server or adobe Flash with a analog signal capture card or other digital video capture cards?

-Given an ideal environment on a 10gig network it be possible for a client to receive video with a latency under 200m/s?

-Does FMS allow developer to create custom interface controls to manipulated video playback? Same for creating a recording feature on the server side for live video?

Thank you for the help.

    Hi canatividad

    Here's some information:

    -Is it possible to interface adobe Flash media server or adobe Flash with a analog signal capture card or other digital video capture cards?

         You can use Flash Media Live Encoder(FMLE) to publish live audio/video to Flash Media Server(FMS). FMLE can be hooked up with compatible analog to digital converters through capture cards. Here is the list of suported devices, http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FMLE_DeviceMatrix3.1.pdf.

    For more information on FMLE please post your queries to http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_media_live_encoder

    -Given an ideal environment on a 10gig network it be possible for a client to receive video with a latency under 200m/s?


          It would depend on the bit rate of the media/video that you are planning to use and also on the number of clients subscribing to the video at a given time. Together they will help gauge the quality of service that you can expect.

    -Does FMS allow developer to create custom interface controls to manipulated video
        Could you please clarify what sort of manipulations you want to make on the video? While playing back a video being served from FMS, you can have the usual controls to play, stop, pause, seek. Some helpful links to build your custom players:

    A ready to use video player sample is available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/reops_pt1.html

    -Same for creating a recording feature on the server side for live video?
        Yes FMS provides a rich set of server side API. You can record the live stream being published to FMS. Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7e42.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7f35

    Hope this helps.
