Reference: Supported media standards

Important

MediaConnect complies with and implements many media industry standards from different organizations. This reference is not intended to be a comprehensive list, but contains highlighted standards from specific organizations.

Video Services Forum: technical recommendations

AWS Elemental MediaConnect supports technical recommendations (TR) from the Video Services Forum (VSF) for some features. This reference guide can be used to identify which TRs are supported by MediaConnect. For more information about technical recommendations, visit the VSF website: VSF technical recommendations

Supported VSF technical recommendations

Technical recommendation	Description
TR-06-01: Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) [Simple Profile]	This technical recommendation is for RIST Simple Profile support only. MediaConnect does not support Main, Enhanced, or Scalable Profiles when using RIST.
TR-07: Transport of JPEG XS Video in MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) over IP Important TR-07 is automatically invoked when you use a supported protocol and the maximum bitrate is greater than 200 Mbps.	MediaConnect supports JPEG XS transport in MPEG-2 TS over IP with the following requirements and limitations: As a source: Only a redundant RTP or RTP-FEC protocol is supported. The maximum source bitrate is 500 Mbps. As an output: The output protocol can be RTP or RTP-FEC. Up to four total outputs can be used, but aggregate bandwidth must not exceed 1250 Mbps.
TR-08: Transport of JPEG XS Video in ST 2110-22 Note For JPEG XS passthrough flows where the video frames are not encoded by MediaConnect, the video frames are not decoded. As a result, no validation of TR-08 compliance is performed.	MediaConnect supports JPEG XS transport over SMPTE ST 2110-22 with the following requirements and limitations: A High profile is required. Using the Main profile will not cause errors, but will be ignored by MediaConnect. An interlace mode of 01 (top-field first) is required for interlaced signals. A sublevel of either 3 bits-per-pixel or 4 bits-per-pixel is required. The sublevel depends on the level of compression and pixel bit depth you are using. Video Description Boxes placed in the encoded video frames will reflect compliant values for profile, interlace mode, and sublevel. Networked Media Open Specification (NMOS) registration is not supported. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) sequential packet transmission mode only. Codestream packetization mode only. Slice mode is not supported. Supported color space, bit depth, and chroma sampling configurations: YCbCr 10-bit 4:2:2 RGB 10-bit 4:4:4 RGB 12-bit 4:4:4

SMPTE-2022

MediaConnect supports many SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) standards. The following table is specific to SMPTE-2022 and includes a selection of standards. It is not a comprehensive list of all supported SMPTE standards.

Supported SMPTE-2022 standards

Standard	Description
SMPTE-2022-7: Seamless Protection Switching of RTP	Sources: MediaConnect supports RTP sources that comply with this standard. For more information about source failover, see Source failover Outputs: RTP and RTP-FEC outputs are compliant with the SMPTE 2022-7 standard. If your downstream receiver supports 2022-7 source merging, RTP and RTP-FEC outputs will be compatible.
