Adobe AIR in your TV
Adobe said Tuesday that LG Electronics and TiVo have become the latest
companies to bring Flash-based applications to connected TV's and
other digital home devices via its Adobe AIR solution. The company
also announced the availability of Flash Player 11 and AIR 3. "With
more than 100 unique digital home devices already certified to support
Adobe Flash and AIR, including Samsung Smart TV's, Adobe expects rapid
growth for Flash-based applications across connected televisions and
other devices," the company states in its press materials. "New gaming
apps like Frima Studio's 'Zombie Tycoon,' VH1's 'I Love the 80's
Trivia' or 'Raider' from PlayJam, as well as premium video experiences
from SnagFilms, Flingo, Epix and others are just a few of the
applications that are enabled by AIR...With the AIR SDK, Flash Builder
and Flash Professional CS5.5 software, developers can build new
applications for connected digital home devices or extend existing
Flash-based experiences from desktops and mobile devices to TV's. AIR
3 brings a series of advancements to TV's including full
hardware-accelerated rendering for 2D and 3D graphics to enable
console-quality gaming applications. Content publishers are able to
deliver HD videos with Dolby and DTS 7.1 channel surround sound for
full support of home theater systems. With the new Game Input API,
developers can also make a range of devices an integral part of the
gaming experience on TV screens, including joysticks, smartphones and
tablets...Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 enable the next generation of
immersive application experiences across devices and platforms
including Android, Apple iOS (via AIR), BlackBerry Tablet OS, Mac OS,
Windows, connected TV's and other platforms. Dozens of new features in
Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 allow developers to deliver a new class of
gaming and premium video experiences, as well as sophisticated,
data-driven applications with backend systems integration across
devices, including the iPhone and iPad via AIR...Flash Player is
supported on more than 98 percent of Internet-connected PC's today and
by the end of 2011, Adobe expects more than 200 million smartphones
and tablets including Apple iOS devices to support Flash-based
applications via AIR. By the end of 2015, the number of devices that
will support AIR is expected to increase to 1 billion. AIR, a superset
of Flash Player, enables developers to leverage existing code to
create and deliver standalone applications across devices and
platforms."
