For Immediate Release
IIJ Launches Video Streaming Service—IIJ Media Sphere Service—Providing a one-stop-shop cloud service for CDN platforms, with all the features needed to stream and manage VOD—TOKYO—November 4, 2020—Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet
access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced the November 10, 2020, launch of IIJ
Media Sphere Service, an all-in-one, cloud-based service that provides the systems and features needed forvideo on demand (VOD) streaming.
This service combines a video delivery platform with content delivery network (CDN), allowing customers to
distribute video just by uploading files to the delivery system. The system converts (transcodes) the data to thedelivery format, generates the video player HTML tags, and delivers videos to end-users in a single operation.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and working style reforms, corporations generally have a growing need to use
videos for internal training and sales promotion activities. At the same time, content providers want to reachmore viewers at home. In response to these needs, IIJ offers VOD delivery systems and functions that have been
provided mainly for broadcasters and content providers in a package so that even corporate customers who do
not have expertise in video streaming can easily use them.
In offering this service, IIJ leverages its own cloud and network technologies, along with more than 20 years ofexperience and expertise in Internet content delivery.

Service HighlightsAn all-in-one solution for essential VOD functions
Immediately start streaming VODs just by subscribing, with no need for delivery systems, servers, or otherequipment. The service responds to any changes in the volume of streamed videos or viewers, no matter
how significant, so there is no need for customers to sign up for additional systems.

Easily deliver videos by embedding HTML tags in the viewing page
Customers simply upload video files from the service's administration screen and embed in the target
webpage the HTML tags issued after the transcoding is complete. The tags generate a video player, whichenables streaming. Viewers can watch the video by clicking on the embedded video player. The video
player is compatible with browsers on various viewing devices (PCs and smartphones) and supports
delivery at multiple bit rates, taking into account viewer devices and communication environments.

Simple administrative functions
The service is equipped with an easy-to-use administration management screen that has all the necessaryfunctions, including account management, permissions settings, and log analytics. Information registeredon the administration screen can also be linked via APIs to member management databases, payment
processing systems, and other external systems. Customers are also flexible, with short-term subscriptionsof just one month available for temporary VOD streaming needs.
