Connecting and disconnecting endpoints in MediaConnect

You can connect a source endpoint to a destination endpoint so that content flows between the devices or resources that the endpoints represent, and disconnect them when you no longer need the connection. You can connect and disconnect endpoints in the MediaConnect console in two ways:

  • From the Source endpoints and Destination endpoints lists, by following the procedures on this page.

  • In the Connection manager, which shows your sources, router inputs and outputs, and destinations side by side so that you can connect and disconnect them visually. For more information, see Using the Connection manager in MediaConnect.

You can also connect and disconnect endpoints programmatically with the MediaConnect API.
