Input visibility is critical for monitoring and diagnosing issues with video streams. Periodic thumbnail images of MediaLive inputs provide confirmation that the correct source is present and ready for processing. Thumbnails are created after the input is decoded, so you have access to images before any encoding for channel output happens. This means you can monitor the input and output video separately for greater visibility. For more information on thumbnail access, visit the MediaLive documentation. Thumbnails in MediaLive are available at no additional cost.
