Media Services Flashcards
Media transcoding in the cloud. It is designed to be a highly scalable, easyto-use, and cost-effective way for developers and businesses to convert (or transcode) media files from their source format into versions that will play back on devices like smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
Amazon Elastic Transcoder
Managed live streaming solution that is quick and easy to set up, and ideal for creating interactive video experiences.
Amazon Interactive Video Service
Empowers creative studios to produce visual effects, animation, and interactive content entirely in the cloud, from storyboard sketch to final deliverable. Rapidly onboard and collaborate with artists globally and create content faster with access to virtual workstations, high-speed storage, and scalable rendering across AWS’s global infrastructure
Amazon Nimble Studio
Advanced video processing and delivery technologies into your data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. You can deploy it to encode, package, and deliver video assets on-premises and seamlessly connect with cloud-based video infrastructure.
AWS Elemental Appliances & Software

AWS Elemental Link
A high-quality transport service for live video, enables you to build mission-critical live video workflows in a fraction of the time and cost of satellite or fiber services
AWS Elemental MediaConnect
USE CASE: ingest live video from a remote event site (like a stadium), share video with a partner (like a cable TV distributor), or replicate a video stream for processing (like an over-the-top service).
Difference between AWS Elastic Transcoder and Elemental MediaConvert
Elastic Transcoder uses pipelines to manage jobs tied to a single S3 bucket, whereas Elemental MediaConvert uses queues that can be tied to multiple S3 buckets.
Difference between Elastic Transcoder and Elemental Media
Elastic Transcoder could not handle 4K video, and only worked with static files stored in S3 - it wasn’t designed for streaming content.
AWS purchased Elemental in 2015. There is some overlap but Elemental Media* services are more flexible and provide JIT encoding and dynamic ad insertion, to serve a broader market than ET did.
