We’re announcing four new capabilities across AWS Elemental that bring AI, personalization, and intelligent monetization to the live video workflow, launching in time for IBC 2026 in Amsterdam.

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.

In this post, we show how to build SENTINEL, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) pipeline that embeds a cryptographic provenance watermark into AI-generated audio at the point of synthesis and carries a verifiable chain of custody through a live-streaming media pipeline. This post covers the architecture, AWS service implementation, deployment approach, and engineering trade-offs we encountered while building SENTINEL.

When brands run ads during linear free-to-air (FTA) broadcasts, they can loosely target messages based on a program’s viewer demographics, but they’re generally casting a wide net. There’s limited visibility into whether they’re reaching the intended audience and if the message engages the viewer. Committed to shaking up the status quo, the Warner Bros. Discovery […]
