MediaConvert now supports Time-Addressable Media Store (TAMS)

AWS Elemental MediaConvert now integrates with Time-Addressable Media Store (TAMS), enabling customers to temporally reference and extract media asset segments. This capability allows MediaConvert customers to work more efficiently meet quick turn around deadlines. With TAMS integration, customers can extract highlights from live events for near real-time social media publishing, repurpose archived broadcast content into fresh programming or documentaries, and streamline media operations by connecting directly to existing broadcast infrastructure and content management systems.

This integration is designed for customers who operate their own TAMS servers—MediaConvert does not host or manage a TAMS instance. By leveraging your own TAMS deployment, MediaConvert can ingest time-based media segments on demand and use them as inputs in your encoding workflows. Whether you’re modernizing a legacy archive, building automation around editorial workflows, or enabling UGC teams to clip and publish with precision, the combination of MediaConvert and TAMS provides a powerful foundation for flexible, high-performance media processing at scale.
