Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched the “Elemental Link”, which is a briefcase-sized device that makes it easy to connect a “live” video source to the AWS Elemental Media Live service for broadcast-grade live video processing in the cloud.

The Link weighs less than a pound. For professional and amateur broadcasters, this device comes as a configuration-free, cost effective way to deliver streaming video to their viewers, claims AWS in the product description.

What Link does is connect a live video source like a camera or video production equipment to AWS Elemental MediaLive.

To use the device, you simply connect it to power, Ethernet, and a video source. Then you can control and monitor your AWS Elemental Link device from anywhere you have access to the AWS Management Console. AWS Elemental Link improves the quality and reliability of your live video streams while reducing the cost and complexity of equipment that you need to operate on-premises.
