Running channels in AWS Elemental MediaLive Anywhere

Focus mode
Running channels in AWS Elemental MediaLive Anywhere - MediaLive

Your organization can deploy a AWS Elemental MediaLive Anywhere cluster of on-premises nodes, and run channels on those nodes. This means that you can run channels on your own hardware, as well as running channels in the regular way, in the AWS Cloud.

You decide where to run the channel when you create the channel. In this case the channel is a MediaLive Anywhere channel. Several new rules apply:

Workflow design and available features

  • The channel must be single-pipeline channel. The inputs can be a combination of single-class inputs (such as SMPTE 2110) and standard-class inputs. MediaLive ignores content from the second pipeline, if there is any. You can also instruct the upstream system to send content to just one of the pipelines. See Choosing the channel class and input class.

  • You can't run the channel on your Amazon VPC.

  • Some input types don't work in a MediaLive Anywhere channel. See Support for deployment in a MediaLive Anywhere cluster.

  • Support for automatic input failover in a MediaLive Anywhere channel is as follows:

    • All the input types that support automatic input failover in an AWS Cloud channel also support it in a MediaLive Anywhere channel.

    • All the MediaLive Anywhere-only inputs (except for SMPTE 2110 inputs) support automatic input failover.
