Open Screen update: RTMP specification to be published soon

This is incredibly exciting news and something the community has been asking for since we published the specs for the SWF file format, FLV/F4V, AMF, and the Mobile Content Delivery Protocol. In the first half of this year, Adobe will publish the specification for RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol).

Kevin Lynch, Adobe’s CTO, said:

With the RTMP specification, developers and companies will be able to provide users with optimized audio, video and data streaming, no matter what kind of device the user is on or where the content is coming from. Our ongoing commitment to openness is accelerating adoption of the Flash Platform by developers and resulting in a new generation of Web applications, content and video experiences that run reliably across operating systems and devices.

The RTMP specification is expected to be posted on the Adobe Developer Connection (www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp ) in the first half of 2009.
