To use the device, you simply connect it to power, Ethernet, and a video source. Then you can control and monitor your AWS Elemental Link device from anywhere you have access to the AWS Management Console. AWS Elemental Link improves the quality and reliability of your live video streams while reducing the cost and complexity of equipment that you need to operate on-premises.
Deliver a high-resolution, broadcast-quality live streaming experience with reduced cost and operational complexity using AWS Elemental Link and our live streaming solution.
AWS provides a live streaming solution that combines AWS Elemental MediaLive and AWS Elemental MediaStore with Amazon CloudFront to build a highly resilient and scalable architecture that delivers your live video content worldwide.
The Live Streaming on AWS with MediaStore solution provides the fundamentals you need to get started. Using AWS Elemental MediaStore for live stream origination, this solution is designed to provide a simple approach with options for customization. In this configuration, AWS Elemental MediaLive uses a single-pipeline channel, so only one input is required, and outputs are HTTP Live Streaming (HLS).
You can apply for credits when you use the AWS Elemental Link device as the input.
