Adobe now offers Adobe
Device Central CS4 software, the next generation testing and preview
environment for mobile content. Adobe
Device Central CS4 dramatically simplifies the workflow for creative
professionals and developers producing content and Flash®Player
compatible videos for mobile phones and consumer electronics devices.
It has over 450 dynamically updated device profiles, Device Central®
CS4 enables users to easily test content.
New Tools Increase Efficiency of Mobile Content Simulation
A new searchable online library of device profiles from major
handset manufacturers worldwide allows creative professionals to
quickly identify appropriate devices and create and organize mobile
projects for all media types, including video, images and web content.
With the new automated testing environment users can simulate content
performance over a network, record a sequence of actions to an editable
script, and test the script across devices to identify any potential
problems with the content. By taking snapshots at certain frames during
the test, users can easily create storyboards and show clients how the
content is displayed on a variety of devices.
More Options to Deliver and Share Mobile Content
To share mobile designs with others, Device Central CS4 allows users
to capture video recordings of testing sequences and export it to a
high-quality movie file based on the H.264 format. Additionally,
developers can easily publish mobile content to an FTP server or send
it directly to the device via Bluetooth. Full integration with Adobe
After Effects CS4 enables editors, producers, and motion graphics
artists to author a set of After Effects compositions for multiple
mobile devices at the same time.
Developer Community Embraces Adobe Device Central
A broad developer community is emerging to take advantage of Adobe
Device Central, cutting production time and testing mobile content and
applications. Bacardi's Mobile Cocktail application, Disney's animated
SpongeBob Wallpaper, Cell's interactive Sport Games, Avarto's Flash
technology based music channel, and Dolce & Gabbana's fashion
wallpapers are just a few examples of rich content already developed
and tested with Adobe Creative Suite 4.
