Moving-image distributing apparatus, moving-image distributing system, and computer product

摘要

A moving-image-data acquiring unit acquires, when a failure occurs in other moving-image distributing apparatus, a plurality of moving-image data transmitted from a part of the encoders to the other moving-image distributing apparatus. An imaging-target-information acquiring unit acquires location information of an imaging target from a management server that manages the location information of the imaging target. An encoder selecting unit selects the encoder to take charge in place of the other moving-image distributing apparatus, based on encoder location information included in the moving-image data and the location information of the imaging target.
