zen master integrates with amazon web services (aws) to enable cloud based contribution, processing, and distribution of live video workflows through this integration, zen master provides centralized orchestration, monitoring, and control of aws media services alongside zixi managed streams aws services are commonly used as part of hybrid or fully cloud based workflows, where zen master acts as the operational control layer while aws provides scalable media infrastructure aws offers the following video streaming services that are integrated with zixi aws mediaconnect mediaconnect is an aws service that enables customers to reliably contribute and distribute live streams to/from the cloud using a wide variety of protocols zixi zen master integrates with mediaconnect flows to provide customers a powerful tool build, operate, and visualize contribution and distribution flows at a global scale aws elemental medialive – medialive is a cloud based live video encoding service from amazon web services used to process and transcode live video streams zixi zen master integrates with aws elemental medialive to enable reliable ingestion, orchestration, and monitoring of live channels, supporting scalable cloud based distribution encoding workflows aws elemental link – a hardware based contribution encoder that delivers live video from remote locations directly into aws aws elemental link uses zixi technology to provide secure, low latency, and resilient transport, allowing customers to reliably contribute live feeds into aws based workflows aws mediaconnect integration workflow aws mediaconnect is a native cloud service designed for the transport of live video it provides features such as encryption, entitlements for stream sharing, and integration with other aws media services mediaconnect supports protocols including zixi, srt, rtp, and rtmp, offering flexibility for different broadcast and streaming use cases because aws mediaconnect has integrated the zixi protocol, customers can easily onboard streams originating or being delivered to zixi enabled encoders, decoders, and other software solutions here’s how the integration typically works source ingestion the live video source is encoded using a device or software supporting the zixi protocol customers can then direct their streams to an aws mediaconnect flow secure transport mediaconnect receives the zixi stream and securely transports it within aws infrastructure or to external destinations if the customer requires it, they can apply encryption, entitlements, or change protocols distribution customers configure their mediaconnect flows to distribute the stream to multiple endpoints, such as broadcast facilities, cloud based video processing services, or other zixi enabled receivers mediaconnect enables scalable, one to many distribution monitoring and management both zixi zen master and aws mediaconnect provide monitoring tools to track stream health, latency, and error rates users can manage flows, entitlements, and destinations through the aws management console or apis benefits of using zen master with aws mediaconnect reliability zixi’s error correction and adaptive transport ensure high quality video even over unpredictable networks scalability mediaconnect makes it easy to scale distribution to global endpoints security encryption and entitlements in mediaconnect protect content and control access flexibility support for many protocols enables simple integration with a wide range of broadcast workflows operational efficiency cloud based workflows reduce the need for on premises hardware and simplify management zen master supports on premises, cloud, and hybrid workflows to simplify management and control for customers in any deployment scenario disaster recovery zen master stores all source and target information, enabling confidence of business continuity through infrastructure updates customers who require high availability must be able to quickly restore their streams in the event of an underlying infrastructure issue by building with zen master, customers are ensuring faster recovery times when issues occur for example, if an underlying cloud instance were to have an error or require an internal update, zen master would be able to gracefully handle the transition to a new instance as quickly as possible related documents docid\ v9xgbuofembdgdpqss ug docid\ vghkldpl2bb4kppwwqzlq docid 1rm8mcdm 28pyf0cg82dy docid\ e6rflr5hppecwd0nswuot
