Modernizing Cloud Connectivity for Ground Devices
Speakers: Brian Rundle, Senior Software Engineer @ AWS Elemental and Sydney Lovely, Senior Software Development Manager @ AWS Elemental
AWS Elemental Media Services transport, process and deliver live and on-demand content in the cloud. Customer tell us that the hardest part of cloud workflows is often getting their live signals connected in the first place. While there are many decent transport protocols available (SRT, RIST, TR-07, etc), customers need to manually manage IP address and overcome networking obstacles like firewalls, network address translation and security groups. We have started an activity group with the Video Services Forum (VSF) to develop a technical recommendation and an open-source SDK providing device discovery, authentication and connection management that works with any transport protocol. We will demonstrate a prototype of this SDK and cloud service using a modern MQTT based approach with simple pair codes for connection management.
