This session explores how premium VOD platform Rakuten TV uses CDNs to deliver VOD libraries and FAST channels in a multi-CDN setup, and how the role of CDNs in video delivery has evolved in recent years. The presentation will examine how tasks traditionally handled at the origin, such as URL signing, access control, and request routing, have gradually shifted to the CDN edge. The session will also touch on anti-piracy efforts, such as content fingerprinting, in which identifiers embedded in video segments help trace unauthorized redistribution of premium video content.
