| | Remember the impressive demo that David Stone gave at Synergy in Houston showing how Citrix's [RAVE|http://community.citrix.com/display/~derekt/2008/02/11/%28Video%29+SpeedScreen+Multimedia+Acceleration+and+RAVE] technology is being adapted to improve the delivery of Adobe Flash content? Perhaps you caught the [video on Synergy Underground|http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1564626134]. David showed a graphics-intensive 3D Flash animation of a shark and fish swimming in the ocean. It was far beyond the typical Flash animations found on corporate web pages yet the quality was "just like local". Since then, the Apollo Multimedia Virtualization team has continued to make excellent progress enhancing SpeedScreen Flash Acceleration with our RAVE technology. I met with Dave recently and we recorded this video to show how RAVE can deliver a high definition Flash movie complete with HD audio. The user experience is amazing and server CPU consumption is extremely low. Sorry, no dates have yet been announced for beta trials or general availability. But I think you'll be amazed at what the Apollo team has already achieved. RAVE (Remote Audio & Video Extension) is a strategic technology for Citrix and a key piece of our SmartRendering vision - the intelligent combination of server-side and client-side rendering based on factors such as the particulars of the application, the capabilities of the client and the server, and the characteristics of the network connection. RAVE is already used in XenApp's SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration feature, which is now being ported to XenDesktop, to deliver high quality video and audio from hosted media players based on [DirectShow|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms786508(VS.85).aspx], [DMO|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_Media_Objects] or [Media Foundation|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms696274(VS.85).aspx] technology. Many customers have been asking Citrix to enhance SpeedScreen Flash Acceleration with RAVE to improve the delivery of Flash-based eLearning applications and corporate communications videos. So take a look and let us know what you think. How will this technology help your organization? What are your most important "use cases" for delivering Flash content using XenApp or XenDesktop? |
