general information introduction zixi is a leading provider of live video transport solutions that ensure reliable, low latency, and secure delivery over ip networks aws mediaconnect is a cloud based transport service from amazon web services designed for the secure and reliable transmission of live video streams the integration of zixi with aws mediaconnect enables broadcasters and media organizations to leverage the strengths of both platforms for high quality, scalable, and resilient live video distribution aws mediaconnect overview aws mediaconnect is a managed 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 like rtp, rtmp, and zixi, offering flexibility for different broadcast and streaming use cases integration workflow aws mediaconnect natively supports the zixi protocol, allowing users to ingest and distribute live streams using zixi enabled encoders, decoders, and 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 the zixi stream is then sent to an aws mediaconnect flow secure transport mediaconnect receives the zixi stream and securely transports it within aws infrastructure or to external destinations the service applies encryption and entitlements to control access distribution the stream can be distributed to multiple endpoints, including broadcast facilities, cloud based video processing services, or other zixi enabled receivers mediaconnect’s scalability allows for easy addition of new destinations 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 multiple endpoints worldwide security encryption and entitlements in mediaconnect protect content and control access flexibility support for the zixi protocol, alongside other protocols, allows integration with a wide range of broadcast infrastructure operational efficiency cloud based workflows reduce the need for on premises hardware and simplify management disaster recovery aws instances can be terminated for a variety of reasons outside of zen masters control, such as aws retirement, manual termination via the aws console, or underlying system loss a subset of zen master managed configurations exists locally in the instance, such as those of zixi pull inputs, and udp outputs zen master will automatically recreate these configurations on the new instance that is launched by the aws auto recovery system, thus no longer requiring a manual restart of the object by the zen master operator this applies to all workflows that involve aws, not just mediaconnect related documents adding aws media sources docid\ v9xgbuofembdgdpqss ug adding mediaconnect flow channels docid\ vghkldpl2bb4kppwwqzlq adding a aws medialive channel docid 1rm8mcdm 28pyf0cg82dy adding zixi aws mediaconnect targets docid\ e6rflr5hppecwd0nswuot
