Adobe Highlights Video Innovations at IBC 2010

San Jose, Calif. and Amsterdam, Netherlands - Adobe Systems Incorporated is showcasing advances in next-generation video and rich media solutions at the IBC 2010 tradeshow, that improve the creation, delivery, and monetization of content for broadcasters, media companies, and the enterprise. Adobe will demonstrate its new solutions and highlight key customer and partner focused initiatives during the IBC 2010 Exhibition at its stand (Hall 7, Stand H.23) in the RAI Convention Center, Sept. 10-14.

"For entertaining, communicating, and collaborating, Adobe is committed to providing world-class technology that is reshaping how video and rich interactive media experiences are created and delivered," said Jim Guerard, vice president and general manager of Dynamic Media at Adobe. "Adobe's new technologies and simplified workflows are relied on by some of the biggest names in broadcasting and media. And we're working closely with these companies to ensure they can build long term, profitable businesses around their unique content."

Next-Generation Flash Technology for Delivering Rich Interactive Media

At IBC, Adobe is announcing the Adobe Flash Media Server 4 family, the industry leading solution for streaming video and real-time communication. Adobe is unveiling three new versions of Flash Media Server 4: Flash Media Streaming Server 4, Flash Media Interactive Server 4, and Flash Media Enterprise Server 4, the first release that enables maximum reach with minimum network load through peer-assisted delivery of content. Flash Media Server software offers solutions that enable content owners to create and deliver high quality, network-efficient media experiences at a lower cost, reaching the broadest possible audience, across any screen.

Growing Industry Adoption 
In another announcement today at IBC, the BBC is now implementing an additional 2,000 seats of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 software as the primary tool for desktop non-linear editing. Adobe software is the non-linear editor solution of choice for the BBC's Creative Desktop Initiative, through which the corporation is improving efficiency, creating a digital, tapeless environment, and reducing costs.
