# Elemental MediaConnect Bridge

Elemental MediaConnect Bridge in AWS is a resource that enables the transport of live video between different AWS Regions or between AWS and on-premises networks. It acts as a connection point for video workflows, allowing you to send or receive live video streams securely and with low latency. This helps broadcasters and media companies extend their video distribution, support hybrid workflows, and improve reliability by bridging video across environments.
