Amazon Nova Understanding Models are multimodal understanding models, that means they support multimodal inputs such as images, videos, and documents to infer and answer question based on the content provided. The Amazon Nova model family is equipped with novel vision capabilities that enable the model to comprehend and analyze images, documents, and videos thereby realizing multimodal understanding use cases.
The following section outline guidelines for working with images, documents, and videos in Amazon Nova. These include preprocessing strategies employed, code examples, and relevant limitations to consider.

Note
Because 25MB is the overall payload limit, ensure that you account for the base64
overhead. While working, remember that libraries and frameworks maintain memory, and
passed media content can quickly add up. When using video, specifying an
s3Location should alleviate many storage issues.
Note
Large videos and documents take time to process, regardless of input method. If
boto3 SDK times-out while waiting for a response from Amazon Bedrock, ensure
that you have an appropriate read_timeout
