Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)
The Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) protocol was originally developed by Macromedia (Now Adobe) for high-performance transmission of audio, video and data over the Internet between Flash based platform technologies, including Flash Player & Adobe AIR and the Server.
RTMP is available as an open specification to create products and technology that enable delivery of video, audio, and data in the open AMF, SWF, FLV, and F4V formats compatible with Adobe Flash Player.
RTMP is implemented at these three stages:
- Live video encoder
- Live and on-demand media streaming server
- Live and on-demand client
RTMP Usage
- RTMP can be used to do live streaming.
- RTMP can do adaptive bitrate streaming (ABS), where the video quality automatically adjusts to changes in bandwidth.
- Players can seek to later parts in a video, which is particularly useful for files > 10 minutes.
- Players maintains a tiny buffer, instead of downloading a video during playback, saving bandwidth.
The biggest feature of RTMP is to do Live Streaming with the support of an Encoder like Flash Media Encoder, a user can ingest the live video feed to RTMP server and via CDN and a compatible Online Video Player the feed is played back on users devices.

Introducing TrueComply: Scaling Video Compliance with AI Automation
Video compliance has always been a critical requirement for broadcasters—and today, OTT platforms, streaming services, and enterprise video teams face the same challenge at a much larger scale.
Every video must pass compliance checks before release. And whenever regulations or platform policies change, entire video libraries need to be revalidated. Manual reviews make this slow, expensive, and error-prone, often delaying launches and increasing operational risk.
This webinar introduces TrueComply, an AI-powered compliance engine that automates video reviews, validations, and required compliance edits—helping teams keep content compliant continuously and at scale.
What this Webinar will Cover:
- Why Video Compliance Is Breaking at Scale
The limitations of manual reviews, spreadsheets, and region-by-region workflows. - How AI Is Transforming Compliance Operations
Using automation to flag risks, enforce rules, and reduce dependency on human moderation without compromising accuracy. - Inside TrueComply: How It Works
A practical demo of how TrueComply centralizes compliance management, automates checks, creates detailed reports, and scales across regions and content types. - Real-World Use Cases
How video businesses can apply AI-driven compliance to real publishing workflows.
