Section titled “Concept”AWS Elemental MediaLive processes live video and creates streams suitable for many devices. It is mainly a live encoder: it takes video from a camera or another source and compresses it. From one input, it creates versions at several quality levels (resolutions), so the video can be watched on both slow and fast internet. Its three main ideas are input, channel and output. The output usually goes to MediaPackage or another destination, and then reaches viewers through a CDN like CloudFront.
