AWS Elemental Link UHD adds HD ingest rates as Link HD enters end of sale

AWS announces the end of sale for AWS Elemental Link HD devices effective April 15, 2024. AWS Elemental Link UHD devices will continue to be available for purchase. To support HD content contribution workflows, Link UHD has now added HD ingest pricing, providing a seamless path for new deployments. Existing Link HD devices will continue to be supported, with Link UHD now serving as the recommended solution for both HD and UHD contribution workflows.

To enable HD pricing on Link UHD devices, you can configure the device's input resolution on the Link device configuration page when the device is not actively streaming. The configuration option provides the flexibility to optimize costs when contributing HD content through Link UHD devices.

This feature is available immediately in all AWS Regions where Link UHD is supported. The input resolution configuration option is accessible through the AWS Management Console for all Link UHD devices.
