Introduction<\/h2>\n<p>Streaming videos live on the internet is becoming popular with music concerts, telecast live shows from the street, or podcasts from social media influencers. However, while many applications provide live recording options these days, the quality of the content gets compromised. In this regard, AWS has developed an innovative device to solve real problems faced by this generation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AWS Elemental Link<\/strong> is an encoding device that connects a live video source to AWS Elemental MediaLive, compresses the video, and gets it ready for live streaming. There are two types of devices available for your use cases.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Link HD for high-definition (HD) video<\/li>\n<li>Link UHD for ultra-high definition (UHD) video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These devices offer a configuration-free, reliable, and cost-effective way to transport your video into AWS MediaLive. In addition, the device is simple and easy to use; the user has to connect the power, ethernet, and video source, then you have control over the device from anywhere through the AWS management console.<\/p>\n<p>Let us have a look at <strong>AWS\u00a0Elemental link device<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"features\">2.

How AWS Elemental Link Works<\/h2>\n<p>AWS Elemental Link takes a single video input as a source and sends a single video output up to 1080p at 60fps to AWS MediaLive for video processing. It can further be sent to various AWS Media services and AWS CloudFront for originating, packaging and distribution.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/content.cloudthat.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Elemental1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10705\" src=\"https:\/\/content.cloudthat.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Elemental1.png\" alt=\"AWS Elemental Link\" width=\"661\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Source: aws.amazon.com<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>5.
