mediaconnect

MediaConnect is a managed service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides reliable, secure, and flexible transport for live video streams. It enables broadcasters and media companies to ingest, move, and process live video feeds across the AWS network and between their own facilities and the cloud. The service is designed for mission-critical video workflows, offering high availability and low latency.

MediaConnect supports various video formats and protocols, allowing users to ingest feeds from sources like cameras and satellite uplinks. Once ingested, these streams can be securely transmitted to other AWS services for processing, such as encoding or storage, or delivered to multiple destinations simultaneously. This flexibility is crucial for content distribution and live event production.

A key feature of MediaConnect is its robust security model, which includes encryption in transit and at rest, as well as granular access control. This ensures that sensitive video content remains protected throughout its journey. The service also offers monitoring and alerting capabilities, allowing users to track the health and performance of their video streams in real time. By abstracting away the complexities of network infrastructure, MediaConnect simplifies the process of managing live video transport, making it a valuable tool for modern media operations.
