Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Purchasing additional RTS

To increase the number of jobs that your reserved queue can process at once, you can purchase additional capacity for it. To purchase additional capacity, you extend your existing commitment with a new 12-month commitment for a larger number of reserved transcode slots (RTS). The new commitment begins when you purchase the additional capacity. You can't decrease the number of RTS in your reserved queue. You can't cancel your commitment or revert to your original commitment after you increase the capacity.

The following tabs show how to purchase additional capacity for a reserved queue.

Console

To purchase additional capacity for a reserved queue by using the MediaConvert console:

  1. Open the Queues page in the MediaConvert console.

  2. In the Reserved queues section, select the reserved queue that you want to purchase additional capacity for.

  3. Choose Purchase additional capacity.

  4. In the Commitment to purchase RTS for reserved queue section, enter the number of reserved transcode slots (RTS) that you want to purchase. This number includes both the original amount of reserved transcode slots and the new additional capacity.

  5. Review and agree to the pricing and time commitment. After you commit to your pricing plan, you can't cancel or revert it. Optionally, select Auto renew yearly.

  6. Choose Purchase additional capacity. Then review your reserved queue details and choose Purchase.
