F1 TV Premium brings 24 synchronized feeds to AWS
Formula 1 (F1) launched a new F1 TV Premium subscription tier for the 2025 race season, leveraging AWS Media Services to deliver a multiview streaming experience. This new tier offers UHD HDR video, synchronized multiple camera feeds, and a customizable viewing layout made possible by timecode alignment, predictable encoding and packaging, and HEVC tile encoding. F1 aims to create an engaging experience for fans desiring increased data access, higher quality video, and personalized viewing options.
Key Takeaways
- F1 TV Premium gives fans access to 24 separate feeds: the main race broadcast, track feeds, and on-board cameras from all 20 cars.
- Subscribers can watch F1 Live and International coverage in up to UHD HDR, with on-board camera feeds in up to HD HDR.
- AWS Elemental MediaConnect, MediaLive, MediaPackage, and Amazon CloudFront power the new video workflow.
- F1 aligns feeds by timecode at its Media and Technology Centre so key race moments stay synchronized across all 24 video feeds.
- MediaLive HEVC tile encoding lets the client build customizable multiview layouts, including mobile-optimized views and driver-battle combinations.
Why It Matters
F1 TV Premium turns live sports streaming into a synchronized, client-configurable workflow rather than a fixed set of curated layouts. The immediate impact is a more flexible viewing product built from 24 aligned feeds, UHD HDR, and additional playback concurrency. The broader signal is that AWS Media Services are being used for timecode alignment, epoch locking, CMAF ingest, and HEVC tile encoding in a live sports environment. Watch whether F1 expands beyond the 2025 race season with the same multiview approach across more devices and feed combinations.
