AWS Elemental MediaLive Now Supports SRT Listener Mode AWS Elemental MediaLive now supports Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) Listener mode for both inputs and outputs. With SRT Listener mode, MediaLive waits for connections rather than initiating them. Upstream sources push live video directly to MediaLive, and downstream systems pull encoded streams on demand. This simplifies network setup by removing the need for complex firewall configurations or static, publicly accessible IP addresses on the source or destination side. SRT Listener mode complements MediaLive's existing SRT Caller mode, giving you full control over which side of the connection initiates the SRT handshake. SRT Listener mode enables flexible contribution and distribution workflows. On the input side, you can push streams from on-premises encoders or remote production sites, including MediaLive Anywhere deployments, directly to MediaLive in the cloud without coordinating firewall changes with your network team. On the output side, downstream distribution partners can connect to MediaLive and pull encoded streams when ready, without requiring MediaLive to initiate outbound connections. Both SRT Listener inputs and outputs support configurable latency settings and mandatory AES encryption to help ensure content security. SRT Listener mode is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Elemental MediaLive is offered. To get started, see Setting up an SRT Listener input and Creating SRT outputs in listener mode in the AWS Elemental MediaLive User Guide.

🆕 AWS Elemental MediaLive now supports SRT Listener mode for inputs and outputs, simplifying network setup by eliminating firewall configurations. It lets upstream sources push live video directly, enhancing flexible workflows. Available globally.

AWS Elemental MediaLive Anywhere now supports SMPTE 2110 inputs AWS Elemental MediaLive Anywhere now supports SMPTE ST 2110 professional broadcast input standards on your own hardware. With this new capability, you can ingest professional IP-based video, audio, and metadata streams directly into MediaLive Anywhere nodes running on your own infrastructure, while maintaining centralized control using the AWS Management Console. SMPTE 2110 support, which requires a 25GbE or higher network interface card, enables native IP-based signal handling throughout the workflow. By accepting SMPTE 2110 IP streams in MediaLive Anywhere, you can maintain signals in the IP domain from source to processing, eliminating the need for costly signal conversion hardware or SDI intermediary steps. You can process professional broadcast feeds where they originate, whether in broadcast facilities, production studios, or other on-premises locations, while maintaining centralized management through AWS and benefiting from pay-as-you-go pricing. MediaLive Anywhere with SMPTE 2110 support is available wherever you deploy MediaLive Anywhere nodes on compatible hardware. The service supports the core SMPTE 2110 standards for uncompressed video (ST 2110-20), digital audio (ST 2110-30), and metadata (ST 2110-40). To learn more about implementing SMPTE 2110 workflows with MediaLive Anywhere, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/input-create-s2110.html. For information about hardware requirements and supported network interface cards, see the https://aws-elemental-documentation.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/EMLA+Qualified+HW+Guide.pdf.

AWS announces Media Quality-Aware Resiliency for live streaming Starting today, you can enable Media Quality-Aware Resiliency (MQAR), an integrated capability between Amazon CloudFront and AWS Media Services that provides dynamic, cross-region origin selection and failover based on a dynamically generated video quality score. Built for customers that need always-on ‘eyes-on-glass’ to deliver live events and 24/7 programming channels, MQAR automatically switches between regions in seconds to recover from video quality degradation in one of the regions. This is designed to help deliver a high quality of experience to viewers. Previously, you could use a CloudFront origin group to failover between two AWS Elemental MediaPackage origins in different AWS Regions based on HTTP error codes. Now with MQAR, your live event streaming workflow has the resiliency to withstand video quality issues including black frames, freeze or dropped frames, or repeated frames. AWS Elemental MediaLive analyzes the video input delivered from the source and dynamically generates a quality score reflecting perceived changes in video quality. Subsequently, your CloudFront distribution continuously selects the MediaPackage origin that reports the highest quality score. You can create CloudWatch alerts to be notified of quality issues using the provided metrics for quality indicators. To get started with MQAR, deploy a cross-region channel delivery using AWS Media Services and configure CloudFront to use MQAR in the origin group. CloudFormation support will be coming soon. There is no additional cost for enabling MQAR, standard pricing applies for CloudFront and AWS Media Services. To learn more about MQAR, refer to the https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/media/improve-your-viewers-live-streaming-experience-with-media-quality-aware-resiliency/ and the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/media-quality-score.html.
