NAB Show 2024 Demo Showcase

Broadcast 

Operations, monitoring, playout & distribution

While broadcasters and content providers love the flexibility, cost savings, and performance of running channel playout and distribution in AWS, many have faced challenges using cloud-based automation and monitoring tools to achieve the same level of control and visibility into their broadcast workloads that they enjoy on-premises. This demonstration uses AWS native tools, open-source, and AWS Partners to demonstrate an end-to-end monitoring and observability environment allowing operators with little or no cloud-specific skills to spin up playout channels, distribution pipelines, and be provided with an end-to-end view of their signal path including realtime monitoring of video/audio quality, underlying infrastructure, and application-level performance and alerts. This allows customers to construct familiar MCR-style environments in the cloud for their channel playout and distribution workloads without compromising on the observability or automation that they are used to.
