EdgeCast Networks and AnimeNewsNetwork.com recently announced a new Anime video streaming
service that will be supported by video advertising and free for viewers.
The content is currently being delivered around the world exclusively via the EdgeCast content delivery network, according to company sources.
The service will initially include around three hundred trailers for a variety of anime programs, as well as editorial video produced by AnimeNewsNetwork.com including interviews, reviews and virtual tours of the anime industry’s production studios.
By utilizing their worldwide content delivery network, EdgeCast Networks will power the streaming video services, which will leverage the new Adobe Flash Media Server 3 [FMS] platform to securely deliver near broadcast-quality h.264 video to end users on Windows, Mac and Linux environments. EdgeCast officials explain that their company has implemented FMS security features such as RTMPe delivery, SWF verification, and token authentication throughout its global content delivery network. The implementation makes this service possible while minimizing security risks such as piracy and stream ripping.
“I couldn’t be happier with the level of service we’ve received from EdgeCast Networks,” said Justin Sevakis, AnimeNewsNetwork.com director of new media in a statement. He observed that this service would not be possible if it weren’t for the reliable delivery and support for the newest technologies that EdgeCast provides.
James Segil, co-founder and president of EdgeCast Networks pointed out that many of their prospects and customers have legitimate concerns about streaming license-protected media globally, due to perceived risks about piracy or other types of misuse. He said that their robust security features give content owners and distributors full control over who sees what and when, eliminating the chances of licensing violations that threaten the integrity of the service.
“We’re very excited to enable companies like ANN to stream licensed content with the peace of mind that everyone’s rights are protected,” he added.
