Due to the vast amounts of video on demand (VOD) service content, scene viewing, in which users select only scenes they want to view within short amounts of time, is expected to go mainstream in the future.Conventionally, global delivery of VOD has used content delivery networks (CDN) to reduce latency (time delays in communication generated during data transfers) in viewing.With scene viewing, however, the huge number of search patterns has caused lower cache hit ratios on CDNs, making it difficult to reduce latency.For the delivery of FUJITSU Business Application Operational Data Management amp; Analytics PITCHBASE, a scene viewing service specialized in professional baseball videos, to users overseas, Fujitsu has developed a video delivery architecture independent of CDNs and is working toward its realization.This architecture is capable of quickly providing scene viewing even to users overseas by releasing viewable scenes in stages while deploying baseball videos, which are increasing on a daily basis, outside Japan and reducing latency.This paper describes this delivery architecture, which enhances user experiences (UXs) in scene viewing globally.
