Visual Communicator 3 To Stream To Flash Media Server
By: Stefan Richter
Following reading this article I had a closer look at Adobe Visual Communicator 3, the product formerly known as Serious Magic’s Visual Communicator.I have known about the product for some time but hadn’t yet noticed that Adobe added or will add the ability to stream the newcast style presentation that users can create with Visual Communicator directly to Flash Media Server.
Adobe states: The product can stream live Flash video presentations over the Internet using Adobe Flash Media Server’.
This is great news and it further expands the featureset and tools available for live Flash video broadcasts and events. For examaple, the product supports up to 3 connected cameras at once which will allow for back and forth switching in an interview setting. Of course all this can also be recorded, the live feature is more of an add-on really.
There’s a lot more to this tool: it offers hundreds of customizable graphics, music and special effects to create video presentations that look like a television newscast. When presenting in front of a backdrop, users can digitally replace the background with an image or video. The teleprompter allows users to speak confidently without missing key points or memorizing lines.
I recommend you check out Visual Communicator 3.
