LTN and AWS Elemental MediaConnect align to offer greater efficiencies for live video transport

LTN® Global, an industry leader in transformative media technology and video transport network solutions, announces seamless interoperability with AWS Elemental MediaConnect to enable customers to distribute content to hundreds of locations via LTN’s highly robust, low-latency multicast IP network and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The solution enables customers to take advantage of distribution feeds going back and forth from AWS Elemental MediaConnect to the LTN Network, while using the LTN multicast network and backbone infrastructure. The interoperability will allow customers to easily and quickly originate and send live video between AWS Elemental MediaConnect and LTN for both full-time and occasional use feeds, and to seamlessly manage and schedule these feeds through the LTN Portal.

“It has never been easier for cloud playout and workflow customers to move high-quality live video content around the world with such speed and reliability,” Malik Khan, LTN Global Co-Founder and Executive Chairman said. “LTN Global continues to provide innovative workflow solutions to the toughest challenges facing content owners producing high-value events remotely. This expanded collaboration with AWS offers our customers high reliability, low latency and a seamless integration with on-ramps and off-ramps to both networks.”

The collaboration also brings the best live video experience to customers with the new LTN-AWS Elemental MediaConnect workflow management system and AWS Entitlements integration. It provides the full capability to start, configure, process, and monitor flows between the two, without the need to alter existing workflows or handle network configurations between LTN and AWS.

Customers can book an AWS Elemental MediaConnect source (transmitter) or destination (receiver) on a specific AWS Region via the LTN Portal. This enhancement enables customers to easily transport live video into, between, and out of AWS. It also enables customers to utilize AWS Elemental MediaConnect to transport live video streams to a large number of destinations, via the LTN Network.

The ongoing collaboration with AWS builds on the existing relationship forged, most recently in May of this year, when LTN achieved Advanced Technology Partner status in the AWS Partner Network (APN), the highest tier within the APN for Technology Partners.
