AWS Elemental MediaConnect adds support for NDI® inputs

Starting today, AWS Elemental MediaConnect supports NDI® (Network Device Interface) as a live video source, enabling broadcasters and live production teams to ingest NDI streams and convert them to transport stream outputs such as SRT for downstream distribution. NDI is a widely adopted IP video technology used in live production environments and supported by more than 500 hardware products and 400 software applications.

With this new capability, live production teams can bridge NDI-based production environments with standards-based cloud distribution workflows without requiring custom transcoding or protocol conversion infrastructure. For example, you can route an NDI feed from an EC2 instance running NDI Tools directly into a MediaConnect flow, convert it to a transport stream, and pass it downstream to AWS Elemental MediaLive for transcoding and AWS Elemental MediaPackage for origin and packaging. This eliminates the complexity of egressing NDI content from the AWS Cloud and enables seamless integration with existing IP-based broadcast workflows.

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