Section titled “Concept”AWS Cloud Digital Interface (CDI) SDK lets you send uncompressed, very high-quality live video very quickly inside the cloud. Video is usually compressed before sending, but that lowers the quality slightly and adds delay. CDI SDK sends uncompressed video between EC2 instances using a fast network called Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA). It is an SDK, which means broadcast software makers add it to their own products. This makes it possible to move the whole job of TV live production to the cloud.
