Glossary 7 AMF is commonly used to transfer data between an application built with Flash or Flex and a remote service over the internet Flash Cast is the Mobile Content Delivery Protocol for robust data services RTMP Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Adobe Systems for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server. The SWF file format specification is used to deliver vector graphics, text, video, sound, and interactivity via Flash Player and Adobe AIR. SWF files can reach over 98% of Internet-enabled desktops and more than 800 million handsets and mobile devices. An FLV file encodes synchronized audio and video streams. The audio and video data within FLV files is encoded in the same way as audio and video within SWF files. The F4V format is based on the format specified by ISO/IEC 14496-12, the ISO base media file format. The FLV/F4V specification documents the file formats for storing media content used to deliver audio and video for playback in Flash Player and AIR. FLV and F4V are the de facto standards for web video today. More than 75% of broadcasters who stream video on the web use the FLV/F4V formats.
