Using the StageVideo class for hardware accelerated presentation

Flash Player 10.2 and later, Adobe AIR 2.5 for TV and later

Flash Player optimizes video performance by using hardware acceleration for H.264 decoding. You can enhance performance further by using the StageVideo API. Stage video lets your application take advantage of hardware accelerated presentation.

Runtimes that support the StageVideo API include:

  • Flash Player 10.2 and later

  • Adobe AIR 2.5 for TV and later

Adobe AIR 2.5 for TV and Adobe Flash Player Beta for Google TV support stage video through a subset of the full API. On these platforms, configuration differences and additional restrictions apply. For instructions for using stage video on these platforms, see Delivering video and content for the Flash Platform on TV .

 Downloadable source code and additional details for the stage video feature are available at Getting Started with Stage Video.
