New Delhi: As an attempt to provide developers and companies open and free access to Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), U.S. based multimedia and creativity software developer, Adobe plans to unveil RTMP specification. The product will be designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe Flash Platform technologies "With the RTMP specification, developers and companies will be able to provide users with optimized audio, video and data streaming, no matter what kind of device the user is on or where the content is coming from," said Adobe Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Kevin Lynch. It will enable unparalleled delivery of video, audio and data in the open AMF, SWF, FLV and F4V formats compatible with Adobe Flash Player. To benefit customers who want to protect their content, the open RTMP specification will not include Adobe's secure RTMP measures, nor will the license that accompanies the specification allow developers to circumvent such measures. This open screen project entails 20 major industry partners who are working together to provide a consistent runtime environment for web browsing and standalone applications.
