Restrictions for multiplexes

Following is a summary of the restrictions associated with multiplexes:

• There are service quotas for the number of multiplexes you can create. For more information, see Quotas in AWS Elemental MediaLive.

• These limitations apply to a multiplex:

  • Each multiplex produces only one MPTS. The MPTS has two pipelines, so it is sent to two destinations.

  • All multiplex outputs must include video.

• These limitations apply to a program:

  • Each program in a multiplex is single use. It is attached only to one multiplex, and you can use it only for that multiplex.

• These limitations apply to a channel in a multiplex:

  • Each channel is single use. You can attach it to only one program in the multiplex, and you can use it only for that multiplex.

  • Each channel contains one and only one output group, of type multiplex. It can't contain any other type of output group.
