How is a video streamed and archived?
Video and audio are streamed to and from the Macromedia Flash Communication Server through the RTMP protocol (Real-Time Messaging Protocol). This is a proprietary TCP/IP based protocol that we created. The Client-side and Server-side SharedObject objects are features of the Macromedia Flash Communication Server that allow for streaming data and streaming audio and video. SharedObject objects can be stored persistently on the server.
