Using MediaConnect processors - AWS Elemental MediaConnect

Using MediaConnect processors

A processor transforms a stream as it passes through a MediaConnect resource. For example, a processor can change the Packet IDs (PIDs) in a transport stream, or remove the streams that a receiver doesn't need. You can add processors when you create or update a resource that supports them.

The following table lists the processor types and the resources that they work with.

Processor type Resources Description

PID remapping

Router outputs

Changes the streams and Packet IDs (PIDs) in a transport stream so that it matches what a receiver expects. For example, you can keep the same transport stream structure across route changes. You can also keep only the audio languages that a receiver needs, or map streams to fixed PID ranges.
