Influxis Launches Synx Platform for Flash Media Server Hosting
One of the leading Flash Media Interactive Server hosting companies, Influxis, has launched the Synx Platform for the Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server. The idea behind the new Flash platform is to make coding for FMS both faster and easier.
Influxis hopes the new Actionscript 3 micro-architecture platform will tempt more Flash developers to try developing applications for the Flash video and live collaboration market.
Influxis says Synx is easy to learn and simplifies code greatly – in some cases from hundreds of lines of Actionscript code to just a few.
Influxis Flash Media Hosting Unveils TV Station 2
Influxis have released what could become an industry changing Flash media application – TV Station 2. Building on the success of the original TV Station, the second version of the app is billed as a major upgrade that will allow Flash developers to build their own online television network.
Richard Blakely, CEO of Influxis, commented, “Our new TVStation application gives our clients the power to run their own 24-hour television network without the overhead and capital cost traditionally associated with broadcast video.”
Influxis says the new application can stream any combination of video content, You Tube HD video, images and live audio streaming while simultaneously allowing users to chat to each other in real time. Flash developers can stream live, high definition video directly from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder – no need for a plug-in API.
