AWS Intros Elemental MediaConnect Router

AWS has released its AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router, a new capability that enables broadcasters and content providers “to dynamically route live video between sources and destinations in the AWS network. This new capability transforms how you build and manage complex live video workflows in the cloud, eliminating the need to reconfigure infrastructure as routing needs change,” AWS says. 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,” AWS adds. 

You 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, monetize and deliver video at global scale.
