Data transfers cost will apply if the MediaConnect flow is in a different Availability Zone.Īny stopped channels are considered idle resources and generate a small usage charge until they are deleted.ĪWS Elemental MediaLive provides two pricing models: On-Demand and Reserved.
Each Single-Program Transport Stream (SPTS) channel has a cost depending on resolution and codec used, plus the cost of the multiplexer which controls the channels and generates the single MPTS output. The price for Inputs are the same as rates for non-Statmux channels. Outputs from a MediaLive multiplexer always need to be routed through AWS Elemental MediaConnect. When using MediaLive to produce Multi-Program Transport Stream (MPTS) output, Statistical Multiplex (Statmux) pricing is used for MediaLive outputs. Since each live channel has one or more inputs and one or more outputs, you simply add the cost of each input (if applicable) and output to arrive at the total cost for running your live channel. There is an additional charge for running channels with advanced audio features enabled (one charge per channel). (See regional rates below.) Costs are incurred even if the inputs are not receiving any content and outputs are not producing content, while the channel is running.
Inputs (including both primary and secondary ingest, as well as AWS Elemental Link devices) and outputs (including each individual encode within your output groups) for every channel are billed at their corresponding rates for as long as the channel is running.
