How we accelerated Live 2 VOD delivery from 15 minutes to under a minute
summary
Replaces an old Live 2 VOD pipeline by inserting SCTE-104 to SCTE-35 markers inside Marina playout SDI, encoding with Elemental Live to HLS, sending manifests to S3 and Lambda/Step Functions, and concatenating MPEG‑2‑TS segments into VOD assets. Publishes a virtual VOD pointing to the live buffer for sub‑minute availability then transparently swaps in frame‑accurate packaged assets. Runs across 31 channels, ~250 transmissions/day, ~40 published, and keeps manual fixes below 1% while supporting sports and news.
