How 5 runs live pop-up events from a browser with AWS Elemental MediaLive

In this post, we describe how, on top of that pipeline, 5 built a browser-based console where a single remote operator can run a live pop-up event (with monitoring, input switching, ad signaling, and graphics) using the control capabilities of AWS Elemental MediaLive. Because these events arrive on an international feed shared with other broadcasters, the console also has to supply what a viewer would normally get from a produced channel: holding slates between segments, and on-screen messaging in 5’s own brand.
