Amazon Web Services is introducing a new HEVC encoding device that makes it easier to connect a live ultra-high definition (UHD) video source to AWS Elemental MediaLive for video processing in the AWS Cloud.
AWS Elemental Link UHD enables users to create HDR outputs, including HDR 10 and HLG, in MediaLive channels to ensure a high-quality picture for a range of streaming applications.
The new device includes HEVC encoding for UHD (up to 2160p at 60 fps with 10 bit colour depth) video feeds, in addition to the features included in the AWS Elemental Link HD encoder.
The the HD version, Link UHD arrives with users fully configured to their AWS account, and can be controlled and monitored remotely using the MediaLive console.
