Yes. The video, audio, and data sent and received by Macromedia Flash Communication Server can be streamed at multiple bandwidth settings. There is a flexible Client-Side Communication ActionScript API that allows for Camera and Microphone objects to be configured in such a way as to match bandwidth settings. The Server-Side Communication ActionScript API allows one to set the bandwidth limit for each client connected to the server thus maximizing the experience for each connected user. Media (FLV’s) should also be encoded in such a way as to accommodate for different client bandwidths. For example, for streaming a pre-recorded FLV file to many clients, there should probably be two different versions, a low bandwidth FLV and a high bandwidth FLV.
