AWS Elemental MediaLive Now Supports Pausing Channel Delivery on a Schedule

Posted on: Mar 7, 2019

With AWS Elemental MediaLive you can now suppress the delivery of one or both MediaLive encoding pipelines to their configured destinations on a schedule. The live channel continues to be processed while delivery is "paused" and will continue to incur non-idle charges, but content will not be sent to any destination packagers or origins. This can be used to change the input source in AWS Elemental MediaPackage when using the input redundancy feature. You can also suppress output completely and resume it at a scheduled time, which lets you start the delivery of the channel at a precise time.

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.

AWS Elemental MediaLive is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), and South America (São Paulo) regions.
