Swarmcast intros Autobahn HD player for Flash


Just in case you haven't heard enough about Adobe's latest HD-enabled Flash release, Swarmcast has introduced a brand new player that supports the aforementioned technology while "protecting against video stalls and skips." Autobahn HD for Flash is a free, full-screen-capable player that is built on the firm's "patented multi-source streaming technology," which "dynamically adjusts the video bitrate to ensure that individual viewers are always watching the highest-quality video possible for their internet connection." Furthermore, the company will be making the source code available to the Flash community for those who'd like to modify it, and while a set date hasn't been announced, an OS X-friendly version of Autobahn HD should be ready soon.

Adobe creates website to boast about HD with Flash


As we saw with Hulu's dive into HD, Adobe's latest version of Flash does indeed support high-definition content. More specifically, it plays nice with H.264 / HE-AAC v2, but requires a fairly beefed up computer and an uber-quick internet connection in order to fully experience 480p, 720p and 1080p material. Additionally, the "flash on" portal aims to inform you of how Flash is "powering next-generation television," which sounds quite delicious, no? For those curious to see what your own content would look like if streamed out in glorious high-definition, be sure and take a peek at the Adobe HD gallery -- assuming you've got the latest version of Flash Player 9 and meet those admittedly stringent system requirements, of course.
