You can use AWS Elemental MediaConnect to ingest your content from an on-premises contribution encoder into the AWS Cloud. The source for your MediaConnect flow comes from your on-premises contribution encoder, and the output points to your encoder in the cloud, such as AWS Elemental MediaLive. If your source content is uncompressed, you can use a CDI workflow.
For redundancy, you can set up your flow to have two outputs that point to your cloud encoder. Another setup for redundancy includes two on-premises contribution encoders—a primary and a backup—that each send content to a different MediaConnect flow. The output from each flow then points to the same cloud encoder.
The following illustration shows an on-premises contribution encoder that uploads content to MediaConnect in the AWS Cloud. The flow output points to an MediaLive channel.
The following illustration shows two on-premises contribution encoders, a primary and a backup, that upload the same content to MediaConnect in the AWS Cloud. There are two flows, each with one output. Both outputs point to a single MediaLive channel.
