Achieving frame-accurate locking across multiple video streams traditionally required timecode or specialized hardware, often unavailable in modern streaming workflows. AWS Elemental MediaLive's Video Aligned Locking uses visual signatures to identify and align corresponding frames across streams automatically.
This feature supports various output formats including HLS, MediaPackage, CMAF Ingest, UDP, and SRT, facilitating precise input switching in standard and linked cross-region pipelines. It reduces complexity while enhancing synchronization capabilities in digital video streaming environments.
