Previously fixed protocol latency within MediaConnect Router has become configurable, allowing customers to select balanced mode for general use or low-latency mode for latency-sensitive streaming workflows. Each router output can have its own latency setting, enabling multiple outputs from one input with different recovery time requirements.
AWS supports visibility into these latency settings through a new CloudWatch metric, RouteFabricRecoveryLatency. Configuration and monitoring are available via API, console, or CLI, and the feature is rolled out wherever MediaConnect Router services are deployed.
