Abstract
A content distribution server that can provide a content editing function for streaming distribution at a low cost without any physical constraints is provided. Streamer videos from a plurality of streamer terminals are received via a network and stored temporarily in a buffer unit. The plurality of streamer videos in the buffer unit are synthesized to generate an edit screen, which is transmitted to the editor terminal connected via the network. An editor performs an edit operation such as switching selection of the streamer videos, an instruction on screen configuration, and caption input on the edit screen, and transmits the edit operation as edit information from the editing terminal to the content distribution server. The content distribution server generates streaming content from the streamer videos in the buffer unit based on the edit information and distributes the streaming content to a viewer terminal.
