America's largest cycling event and a truly Interactive Live Flash
This weekend Lance Armstrong kicked off the broadcast live from the Amgen Tour of California using the Adobe Flash Platform. The 9-day Amgen Tour of California is much like the Tour de France except over the rolling hills of California, starting in Sacremento and ending 750 miles away in Escondido.
You can follow the race starting on Feb 14th through the 22nd using the Live Tour Tracker. This unique Flash application uses live video and live GPS data feeds to give you a complete perspective of the race. Using Flash Media Server through Akamai to stream live video from the Flash Media Live Encoder this application pushes the envelope of real time data syncronized with live video. The data feed is injected into the application using Adobe Live Cycle Data Services ES.
