AWS Elemental MediaLive Now Supports SRT Listener Mode

AWS Elemental MediaLive now supports Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) Listener mode for both inputs and outputs. With SRT Listener mode, MediaLive waits for connections rather than initiating them. Upstream sources push live video directly to MediaLive, and downstream systems pull encoded streams on demand. This simplifies network setup by removing the need for complex firewall configurations or static, publicly accessible IP addresses on the source or destination side. SRT Listener mode complements MediaLive’s existing SRT Caller mode, giving you full control over which side of the connection initiates the SRT handshake.

SRT Listener mode enables flexible contribution and distribution workflows. On the input side, you can push streams from on-premises encoders or remote production sites, including MediaLive Anywhere deployments, directly to MediaLive in the cloud without coordinating firewall changes with your network team. On the output side, downstream distribution partners can connect to MediaLive and pull encoded streams when ready, without requiring MediaLive to initiate outbound connections. Both SRT Listener inputs and outputs support configurable latency settings and mandatory AES encryption to help ensure content security.

SRT Listener mode is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Elemental MediaLive is offered. To get started, see Setting up an SRT Listener input and Creating SRT outputs in listener mode in the AWS Elemental MediaLive User Guide.
