On2 Technologies, which offers "advanced video compression solutions," announced the release of an application for Flash. Earlier today, the company put out a press release describing On2 Flix Live 8. On2 Technologies wants you to know that this is the "world's first live video encoding application for Flash 8."
"On2 Flix Live makes broadcast-quality video webcasting on the Flash Platform available to enterprises and content delivery networks," the company stated. "It is the first application on the market that is capable of encoding live feeds in On2 VP6, the advanced video technology in Macromedia Flash Player 8 from Adobe."
On2 Live SDK for Flash powers the application, delivering "live Flash video at the highest image quality while also maintaining low streaming latency." On2 Technologies developed that technology while "working closely with Adobe." It will deliver "live streaming video directly to Adobe's Flash Media Server 2.0 using Adobe's RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol)."
The press release also described several of the application's features. "Predefined encoding profiles to accommodate speeds from dial-up to high-speed broadband, at frame sizes from QCIF to D1" is one of them; the ability to capture "live video from webcams, DV cameras, and a variety of professional capture cards and devices" is another.
On2 Flix Live 8 also "allows for simultaneous file write out for archiving purposes," and "includes pre-build Flash players and HTML code for ease of web deployment." One last tidbit they shared is that it "supports NellyMoser audio output."
The price tag for all this niftiness? Commercial licensing is $999 per year. But On2 Technologies stated that "discounted volume pricing will be available for qualified content delivery networks (CDNs)."
