Amazon Bedrock Data Automation now supports modality controls, hyperlinks and larger documents

Amazon Bedrock Data Automation (BDA) now supports modality enablement, modality routing by file type, extraction of embedded hyperlinks when processing documents in Standard Output, and an increased overall document page limit of 3,000 pages. These new features give you more control over how your multimodal content is processed and improve BDA’s overall document extraction capabilities. With Modality Enablement and Routing, you can configure which modalities (Document, Image, Audio, Video) should be enabled for a given project and manually specify the modality routing for specific file types. JPEG/JPG and PNG files can be processed as either Images or Documents based on your specific use case requirements. Similarly, MP4/M4V and MOV files can be processed as either video files or audio files, allowing you to choose the optimal processing path for your content. Embedded Hyperlink Support enables BDA to detect and return embedded hyperlinks found in PDFs as part of the BDA standard output. This feature enhances the information extraction capabilities from documents, preserving valuable link references for applications such as knowledge bases, research tools, and content indexing systems. Lastly, BDA now supports processing documents up to 3,000 pages per document, doubling the previous limit of 1,500 pages. This increased limit allows you to process larger documents without splitting them, simplifying workflows for enterprises dealing with long documents or document packets. Amazon Bedrock Data Automation is generally available in the US West (Oregon) and US East (N. Virginia) AWS Regions.
