Brightcove Inc., the leading online video platform, today announced that
it has rolled out broad support for Adobe(R) Flash(R) Media Server 3.5
through content delivery services provided by Limelight Networks, Inc

"Organizations of all kinds today are faced with increasingly complex
requirements around quality and security for online video publishing and
distribution," said Bob Mason, Brightcove's chief technology officer. "In the
past, publishers have been forced to choose between quality, security and a
ubiquitous format for their online video experiences. With the Brightcove
platform's support for Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 on Limelight Networks'
global infrastructure, we're providing organizations of all sizes with
turn-key access to the most advanced stack of technologies and services for
high-quality and secure video distribution on the Web."

This announcement delivers on Brightcove and Adobe's strategic alliance,
announced in April 2009, to collaborate on technology and services that will
enhance the quality of online video experiences and accelerate the
development of content protection for rich media. The announcement continues
the longstanding alliance between Brightcove and Limelight Networks, while
showcasing Limelight's commitment to deploying industry-leading services at
global scale based on Adobe's products.

"We are pleased that Brightcove and Limelight Networks are adopting the
industry's latest innovations to address media companies' complex
requirements around the quality and security of online video," said Scott
Wellwood, director of business development for Adobe. "With the new
capabilities of Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5, Brightcove can provide media
companies with choice and control, as well as enable them to deliver superb
online video experiences to viewers."

The broad reach of the Brightcove platform and its use among top
publishers and media outlets worldwide will accelerate the adoption of Flash
Media Server 3.5, enabling organizations to deliver secure, up to HD-quality,
long-form content to consumers through standard Web browsers without the need
for non-standard software plug-ins or proprietary technology stacks. In
rolling out Flash Media Server 3.5, Brightcove customers will be able to take
full advantage of cloud-based services for H.264 encoding, bandwidth
optimization, dynamic streaming for multiple renditions, interactivity,
pre-built services for live and on-demand streaming, and other capabilities
to deliver the highest quality end user experience for their online video
content.

Brightcove platform customers can also access on-demand content
protection features to prevent abuse and ensure that content is easily and
reliably delivered. The Brightcove platform enables customers to protect
against video interception and stream-ripping using RTMPe encryption.
Customers can also use the SWF verification features in Adobe Flash Media
Server 3.5 to prevent video playback within unauthorized video players.

"Online businesses are faced with the challenge of ensuring high-quality
end-user experiences across multiple device types, geographies, and network
architectures," said David Hatfield, senior vice president, Limelight
Networks. "Today's announcement simplifies the online publishing value chain
by bringing together the global scale, reach and reliability of Limelight's
content delivery service, Brightcove's market-leading online video platform,
and Adobe's innovative new Flash Streaming Services."

"Rainbow Media has a network of websites with a fast-growing online
audience, which poses challenges considering the diverse network conditions
and connectivity issues," said Michael Cagnazzi, vice president of product
development at Rainbow Media. "Brightcove's support for Adobe FMS 3.5 will
enable us take advantage of bandwidth detection and dynamic optimization of
our video streams to ensure high-quality viewing experiences, all
out-of-the-box and without having to introduce new workflows for our
producers or software plug-ins for end-users."

"For Marvel Entertainment, video quality and security are key priorities
for all of our video assets, from hi-res movie trailers and full-length shows
to exclusive interviews and promos," said John Dokes, vice president of sales
and marketing, Digital Media Group, Marvel Entertainment. "By integrating
support for Adobe FMS 3.5 on Limelight's infrastructure, Brightcove has
introduced a powerful and comprehensive solution for Marvel's wide-ranging
online video requirements."
