At the IBC trade show in Amsterdam today, Adobe announced version 4.5 of its Flash Media Server and Flash Access 3.0. The $4,500 media server will stream video to Flash-enabled devices, and also to Flash-less iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. The transcoding is done on the server's end and is streamed to the iOS device using HTTP live streaming. The server product comes in four flavors for various deployment sizes, including a version built to run on the Amazon Web Services cloud platform.
Adobe's move isn't a surprise. During the National Association of Broadcasters' trade show in April, the company revealed its plans to include HTTP live streaming in the Flash Media Server, which in turn enables the iOS support. Don't be confused, however: these server products don't add up to "Flash is coming to iOS!" as some headlines would have it. They stream video, but they don't permit Flash animations, games or other interactive content to work in Mobile Safari.
As Kelly Hodgkins wrote in April, HTTP live streaming is an HTTP-based media streaming protocol developed by Apple. It uses H.264 video and AAC or MP3 audio to deliver its media stream. The protocol is supported by QuickTime on Mac OS X and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
At the time, this was seen as a win on Apple's part in the Flash vs. HTML 5 war. Adobe knows full well that even though Steve Jobs is no longer at the helm, it doesn't mean Apple will suddenly become Flash-friendly.
In principle, streams delivered by the new 4.5 servers should be viewable in Mobile Safari, although they can also be integrated directly into iOS apps. It'll be interesting to see whether or not the big video players (Hulu, ABC, HBO) decide to simplify their back-end environments for iOS streaming with Adobe's offerings.
Flash-free Flash Coming to iOS
There are a few cliche phrases I could employ just now that would communicate how unlikely I thought this news would be… but it’s true. Adobe has released their Flash Media Server 4.5 that will repackage Flash content as HTML 5, allowing it to display on iOS devices. It would appear this is game and match for Apple.
It is an important distinction that this doesn’t mean iOS devices now support Flash. But it does show a concession coming from the Adobe side of the court, where they have previously held firm. But with the support and adoption of HTML 5 showing no signs of slowing down, they need to do something if they don’t want to be antiquated in a hurry.
This announcement has me wondering if Adobe has finally realized that we don’t need Flash, it’s a question of whether we want Flash.
Many have accused Apple of trying to bully Adobe into a move like this, but I believe the opposite is true. Adobe has a history of playing the domineering role and as a result has failed in many ways to evolve with emerging technologies.
Historically, Flash content has been optional content. It’s the animation, the entertainment and the feature pieces, not the meat of a site. But moving forward, dynamic web sites are expected and required and can be achieved with Flash, HTML 5, or something else entirely.
Either way, this seems like the best of both worlds. Anybody using iOS based devices will have access to Flash content, but no modifications to Flash are required. This means existing Flash content should port smoothly and not having Flash actually installed on iOS means no concerns over battery life or system stability.
Is this too little too late? Will developers abandon Flash as a whole and move entirely to HTML 5? Or is this a meaningful enough move by Adobe to encourage Flash development to continue without excluding those individuals using iOS based devices?
