Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announces the general availability of AWS Elemental MediaConnect router, a new capability that it says enables broadcasters and content providers to dynamically route live video between sources and destinations in the AWS network.
This new capability transforms how companies build and manage complex live video workflows in the cloud, eliminating the need to reconfigure infrastructure as routing needs change, AWS claimed. It further noted that the router enables complex scenarios like switching between primary and backup feeds, routing regional variants independently, and managing multiple feeds for comprehensive coverage.
MediaConnect Router optimizes content delivery across the AWS network, reducing transport latency while improving packet delivery reliability when compared to standard transport technologies. This fully managed capability supports routing between inputs and outputs in any supported region as well as between private and public endpoints, and it eliminates operational overhead and unused capacity costs.
Customers can start using MediaConnect router through the MediaConnect console, via MediaConnect API, or AWS CDK. It works independently or alongside existing MediaConnect flows. It can also be part of a larger video workflow with AWS Elemental, a family of media services that help customers process, monetise, and deliver the highest quality video at global scale.
