MXL: Multi-vendor live media interoperation

Cloud-based live production often forces broadcasters to choose between vendor lock-in or complex integration challenges. The Media eXchange Layer (MXL) is an open-source SDK enabling interoperable ultra-low latency exchange of live uncompressed video, audio, and metadata between different software media functions. This demo showcases MXL v1.0 exchanging live media between multiple AWS Partners hosted on three Amazon EC2 g6 instances using both shared memory within an instance and Amazon Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) RDMA transport between instances. Attendees will see how MXL delivers broadcast-quality performance while maintaining vendor choice and workflow flexibility for modern cloud-based live production.
