This use case is typically combined with transcoding performed on the publisher’s side, after which the output files are pushed directly to CDN hosting, or to a local intranet delivery source. In this case, Kaltura essentially only manages the metadata while media files themselves are delivered directly from the publisher through a CDN to the viewer. Linking between the files and a Kaltura entry can be done through the KMC, API, or drop folder xml ingestion. See Kaltura Drop Folders Service For Content Ingestion.
