This course provides an overview of the features and functions of AWS Elemental Statmux, a technology used to efficiently combine (or multiplex) multiple encoded video channels (or programs) into a single Multi-Program Transport Stream (MPTS) for delivery over fixed bandwidth infrastructures such as satellite, cable, and terrestrial networks. In this training you will learn how to configure, operate, and monitor statmux workflows using AWS Elemental Conductor, AWS Elemental Live, and AWS Elemental Statmux appliances.

• Course level: Intermediate
• Duration: 60 minutes

Activities

This course includes presentations, videos, knowledge checks, and a final assessment.
