AWS medialive documentation change

Service: medialive · 2026-04-25 · Documentation low

File: medialive/latest/ug/pipeline-lock.md

Summary

Updated pipeline locking documentation to clarify which output types support video aligned vs source timecode locking methods, specifically moving UDP/SRT to video aligned and Microsoft Smooth to source timecode, with notes about segmentation requirements.

Security assessment

This change is purely a documentation clarification about feature compatibility and configuration requirements for pipeline locking modes. There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security features. The changes are technical corrections about which output formats support which locking methods.
