Considerations for creating Amazon Chime SDK media pipelines
A media pipeline can consist of one of these pipelines:
-
Media capture – Use media capture pipelines to capture audio, video, and content share streams, plus meeting events and data messages. All media capture pipelines save their data to Amazon Simple Storage Service
(S3) bucket that you create. You can create one media capture pipeline per Amazon Chime SDK meeting. For more information, refer to Understanding Amazon Chime SDK media pipeline creation. -
Media concatenation – Use media concatenation pipelines to concatenate the artifacts from a media capture pipeline. Concatenation pipelines work independently of media capture and live connector pipelines. For more information, refer to Creating media concatenation pipelines for Amazon Chime SDK meetings.
-
Media live connector – Use media live connector pipelines to connect to services that enable you to stream Amazon Chime SDK meetings to an RTMP endpoint. You can create up to one media live connector pipeline per Amazon Chime SDK meeting. For more information, refer to Creating media live connector pipelines for Amazon Chime SDK meetings.
-
Media stream – Use media stream pipelines to capture individual audio for all the attendees in a meeting, plus the mixed audio generated by a media concatenation pipeline. All media stream pipelines save their data to Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS). For more information, refer to Creating media stream pipelines using the Amazon Chime SDK.
The pipelines you create depend on the namespace you use. If you use the
Chime namespace, you can only create media capture pipelines. If you
use the ChimeSdkMediaPipelines namespace, you can also create media
concatenation and media live connector pipelines, and use compositing features. If you
want to migrate to the ChimeSdkMediaPipelines namespace, refer to Migrating to the Amazon Chime SDK media pipelines namespace.
