Devices

AWS Elemental Link encoding devices connect a live video source, like a camera or video production equipment, to the cloud. Two different Link devices are available depending on your use case: Link HD for high-definition (HD) video with MediaLive, and Link UHD for ultra-high definition (UHD) video with MediaLive or MediaConnect. Link devices offer a configuration-free, cost-efficient way to securely and reliably transfer video to AWS.
