Overview
In a live streaming workflow, a live encoder posts a live stream to Origin, which ingests it, creating a live archive on disk to stream from. Based on incoming requests from viewers, Origin dynamically packages the live stream into the requested format.
Unified Origin ingests one format (MP4, fragmented MP4) and packages it on-the-fly to all formats, including HbbTV, Progressive, and CMAF. It supports all the major DRM systems (Adobe Access, FairPlay, Marlin, PlayReady, and Widevine). AVC, HEVC, HDR, and Dolby Vision are all compatible.
To scale this setup for delivery to millions of viewers, there is a CDN sits in front of Origin and caches Origin's output to handle almost all of the requests.
Viewers can also start a show from the beginning or watch programming from the last couple of days. Origin can generate these recordings from its live archive, the length of which you can configure to suit the needs of your streaming service.

Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
c5.large Recommended | $1.44 |
c5.2xlarge | $2.46 |
c5.xlarge | $2.06 |
c5ad.xlarge | $2.06 |
c5a.large | $1.44 |
c5ad.2xlarge | $2.46 |
c5a.2xlarge | $2.46 |
c5ad.large | $1.44 |
c5a.xlarge | $2.06 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the AWS compute instance you run this software on. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type and size, from c5.large through c5.2xlarge, plus c5a and c5ad variants. Pricing scales with instance capacity: larger sizes carry higher hourly rates, and different instance families let you match processor and storage needs. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Choose the instance that fits your live streaming workload and expected traffic, and add more instances as demand grows.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension bills for one running hour of the named EC2 instance with the software installed. You are charged per hour the instance runs. The c5, c5a, and c5ad families differ in processor type and local storage, so pick the one matching your streaming workload.
Software charges apply only while an instance runs. Fully stopped instances do not accrue hourly software fees. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for stopped instances, but the software meter counts running time only. Scale down by stopping instances to reduce software charges.
Add more instances or move to a size with more capacity as demand grows. A live encoder posts to Origin, which packages streams on the fly. Placing a CDN caching layer in front of Origin handles most viewer requests, so you scale delivery without adding instances.
