AWS Elemental MediaPackage Adds Support for CMAF HLS Endpoints, with Content Protection and HDR

Posted on: Apr 27, 2018

With AWS Elemental MediaPackage, you can now add Common Media Application Format (CMAF) fragmented MP4 HLS endpoints to live channels. This is in addition to the Apple HLS, Microsoft Smooth Streaming, and DASH endpoints already supported. Support for CMAF HLS endpoints allows you to ingest a single live stream and format it to play on connected TVs, mobile phones, computers, tablets, and game consoles while also sending High-Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) content to Apple devices with improved video quality, including High Dynamic Range (HDR) and content protection with the potential to reduce distribution costs.

AWS Elemental MediaPackage is a video origination and just-in-time packaging service that allows video distributors to securely and reliably deliver streaming content at scale. With AWS Elemental MediaPackage, you can reduce workflow complexity, increase origin resiliency, and better protect multiscreen content without the risk of under or over-provisioning infrastructure.
