AWS Elemental MediaConvert has added support for HDR10+ metadata analysis and insertion. HDR10+ is a technology that further enhances HDR video with dynamic color metadata for viewing devices to adjust automatically on a scene-by-scene basis. Using MediaConvert you now have the option to perform a HDR10+ analysis on your HDR10 content and then to insert the resulting metadata into the encoded outputs for consumption on HDR10+ enabled devices. This metadata is treated like an enhancement layer to the base HDR10 metadata and allows for backwards compatibility with HDR10 compliant devices.

Session Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, now supports free text search for nodes in the search bar of the Session Manager console. Customers can easily locate the node to connect to without knowing the exact value of a property such as Name or Instance ID. The free text search is supported for multiple properties of a managed node, including Instance ID, Name, Agent Version, Platform, Status, and many more.
