AWS Elemental MediaConnect adds support for NDI® outputs

Starting today, AWS Elemental MediaConnect will support NDI® (Network Device Interface) outputs from MediaConnect flows. NDI is a high-quality and low-latency video connectivity technology, widely used in live production applications and supported by more than 500 hardware products and 300 software applications.

At launch, the MediaConnect support for NDI allows you to take an incoming transport stream source encoded as AVC or HEVC up to 1080p at 60FPS and output it as NDI High Bandwidth to a VPC. NDI enabled flows can simultaneously output NDI as well as transport stream-based outputs. NDI outputs will use the field-proven SpeedHQ codec and allow you to configure the quality between 100% and 200%. With NDI outputs, the process of connecting on-premises sources such as cameras for use in live cloud production is simpler to deploy, more scalable, and cost-effective using a pay-as-you-go pricing model.

NDI support is available in all regions where MediaConnect is currently deployed. For more information and details on pricing, please refer to the NDI documentation and the MediaConnect pricing page.
