We’re announcing four new capabilities across AWS Elemental that bring AI, personalization, and intelligent monetization to the live video workflow, launching in time for IBC 2026 in Amsterdam.

In this post, we describe how, on top of that pipeline, 5 built a browser-based console where a single remote operator can run a live pop-up event (with monitoring, input switching, ad signaling, and graphics) using the control capabilities of AWS Elemental MediaLive. Because these events arrive on an international feed shared with other broadcasters, the console also has to supply what a viewer would normally get from a produced channel: holding slates between segments, and on-screen messaging in 5’s own brand.

In this post, we show how to build SENTINEL, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) pipeline that embeds a cryptographic provenance watermark into AI-generated audio at the point of synthesis and carries a verifiable chain of custody through a live-streaming media pipeline. This post covers the architecture, AWS service implementation, deployment approach, and engineering trade-offs we encountered while building SENTINEL.

In this post, you’ll learn how KNFSD File Cache (KNFSD) works and where it fits alongside any NFS-compliant storage (whether that’s an on-premises filer, a third-party, or an AWS service like Amazon FSx). We also cover how to deploy a production-ready, autoscaling cluster using a single Terraform module, delivering aggregate throughput at less than $6 per hour per 100 Gb per second.

In this blog, learn how 5, part of Paramount, migrated from a dual-pipeline packaging architecture to AWS Elemental MediaPackage v2—consolidating infrastructure, eliminating manual failover, and expanding to new platforms across a 12-month collaborative journey with AWS. Discover the key technical enhancements delivered through the partnership, including DVB-DASH accessibility signaling, HLS manifest attributes, SCTE-35 flexibility, and SPEKEv2 DRM integration, and how early engagement with beta features accelerated 5’s modernization.

Learn how by partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS), FOX transformed how news, sports, and entertainment content gets created, produced and distributed. FOX consolidated into a unified cloud platform that now powers content operations across FOX Sports, FOX News Media, Tubi Media Group, FOX Entertainment, and FOX Television Stations—delivering three Super Bowls to record-breaking audiences.

This post explains the framework and walks through an end-to-end example using LiveRamp identity enrichment.

In this post, we show how you can monetize your live streams using Amazon IVS SSAI.

S4C has been the home of Welsh-language television since 1982. In its recent “digital first” strategy, the public service broadcaster describes itself as being “more than a TV channel,” and its mission is clear: to show the world through the Welsh language with content for audiences in Wales, the UK, and beyond on the platforms […]
