Working with packaging configurations in AWS Elemental MediaPackage - AWS Elemental MediaPackage

A packaging configuration defines a single delivery point for an asset.

Configure the configuration to output content in one of the available stream formats:

  • Apple HLS – Packages content to Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)

  • Microsoft Smooth – Packages content for Microsoft Smooth Streaming players

  • Common Media Application Format (CMAF) – Packages content to devices that support Apple HLS fragmented MP4 (fMP4)

  • DASH-ISO – Packages content for the DASH-ISO ABR streaming protocol

The packaging configuration also holds information about digital rights management (DRM) and encryption integration, bitrate presentation order, and more.
