AWS has announced the launch of AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router, which enables broadcasters and content providers to dynamically route live video between sources and destinations in the AWS network.
According to the company, the new capability eliminates the need to reconfigure infrastructure as routing needs change. The router enables complex scenarios like switching between primary and backup feeds, routing regional variants independently, and managing multiple feeds for comprehensive coverage, said AWS.
“MediaConnect Router optimises content delivery across the AWS network, reducing transport latency while improving packet delivery reliability when compared to standard transport technologies,” said AWS.
It supports routing between inputs and outputs in any supported region as well as between private and public endpoints.
MediaConnect Router is available to use through the MediaConnect console, via MediaConnect API, or AWS CDK. It works independently or alongside existing MediaConnect flows.
