The “Flashy” future of TV

Robert Scoble stopped by Adobe and talked to Anup Murarka about our Flash on TV initiative. It’s a pretty good video and it’s nice to be able to see the demo working. Aside from the video implication for anyone using Flash Media Server and Flash video, this is also going to be fun for developers who want to create games, content, or widgets for the living room.

Some of the cool technical stuff is that the digital living room player is smart enough to offload the graphical processing to chips inside of the TV that are specifically meant to handle high definition video so the footprint of the player itself is smaller and you’re not trying to push a bunch of HD video through the software.
