Case Study: Cosm scales immersive high-resolution live experiences with AWS Elemental

Cosm scales 8K+ immersive live experiences with AWS Elemental

Cosm, a pioneer in live immersive entertainment, faced the challenge of scaling its high-resolution "Shared Reality" experiences from 8K to 16K for global venues. They needed a reliable, high-quality, and low-latency live streaming workflow that could handle over 16 concurrent live events daily. To meet this, Cosm partnered with AWS, utilizing services like AWS Elemental MediaConnect and Amazon EC2 for cloud-based transcoding and delivery.

The solution implemented on AWS enabled a centralized live cloud production workflow. By moving to a file-based process on AWS, Cosm can now transcode ultra-high-resolution video at scale, using AWS Direct Connect for accelerated delivery and Amazon S3 for reliable playout. This AWS-powered infrastructure allows Cosm to deliver seamless, synchronized broadcasts to multiple immersive domes, ensuring 100% uptime while future-proofing their ability to expand to hundreds of venues worldwide.
