AWS Elemental MediaLive Now Synchronizes Redundant Pipelines Using Input Timecode
With AWS Elemental MediaLive, live channels that have inputs with matching embedded timecodes now produce synchronized video segments for HLS and Smooth Streaming outputs. Used with the input redundancy feature in AWS Elemental MediaPackage, this allows a live channel to seamlessly failover across the two channel pipelines provided by MediaLive and the redundant inputs used by a MediaPackage channel. The result is a highly available, multi-AZ, live channel from a single endpoint and a better-quality viewing experience.

If the input to MediaLive does not have valid timecode, the live channel still has redundant encoding pipelines and can still use redundant inputs into MediaPackage. The channel remains highly available but without the seamless failover.
