Customers can use this new functionality to generate images for playback applications such as thumbnails or enhanced timeline scrubbing. They can also generate images for Machine Learning pipelines, including Amazon Sagemaker, Amazon Rekognition, or custom solutions.
These features are available in all regions where Kinesis Video Streams is available. Image extraction will cost $10 per million images for streams of resolution up to and including 1080p, or $18 per million images for streams or resolution greater than 1080p up to 4K.
