Abstract

We have started the field test of the VOD service since April 1996, in Huis Ten Bosch which is one of the famous theme parks in Japan. In three years, total about 100 thousands people have used this VOD system and evaluated it. This test verifies that the VOD system which provides moving picture by MPEG2 via broad bandwidth ATM network has already reached the level of actual use. And also we get the know-how to construct contents, or how to manage network resources and server resources, and we have proposed them.
