AWS Elemental introduces Dynamic Multiview for live video

AWS Elemental MediaPackage now offers Dynamic Multiview, enabling content providers to deliver multi-angle, multi-game, and personalized viewing experiences as standard HLS and DASH streams without custom player development

AWS Elemental MediaPackage now offers dynamic multi-view, tiling multiple live video sources server-side for on-demand delivery in the viewer's chosen layout. This enables content providers to deliver personalized experiences with multiple angles or games as standard HLS and DASH streams, playable on most modern consumer devices, TVs, and set-top boxes without custom player development. Operating in the compression domain, dynamic multi-view combines individually encoded sources without re-encoding or compositing. Customers encode each source once in AWS Elemental MediaLive, and MediaPackage assembles the composition on demand for native playback on existing devices and players, requiring no app changes or SDK integration. It supports AVC and HEVC codecs, DRM encryption, SCTE-35 ad marker pass-through, and full-screen ad replacement.

Why it matters

This update impacts content providers and media companies using AWS Elemental MediaPackage for live video content delivery. The new Dynamic Multiview feature allows them to offer enhanced viewing experiences by tiling multiple video sources for viewers.
