AWS Elemental MediaLive Adds Support for Timed ID3 Metadata Insertion for HLS Streams

Posted on: Dec 21, 2018

With AWS Elemental MediaLive, you can now insert Apple timed ID3 metadata tags into HLS live channel outputs. ID3 metadata tags enable data to be embedded into HLS video streams at specified timecodes, which can be used by downstream systems or clients to enhance the playback experience. ID3 metadata tags are inserted using the same scheduling API used for SCTE-35 and static image insertion, and input switching for channels.

AWS Elemental MediaLive is a broadcast-grade live video processing service. It lets you create high-quality video for broadcast and streaming delivery to internet-connected devices.

The service functions independently or as part of AWS Elemental Media Services, a family of services that form the foundation of cloud-based workflows and offer you the capabilities needed to transport, create, package, and deliver video.
