Managing router I/Os in MediaConnect

Router I/Os are where your media streams enter and exit the router. Think of them as the connections between your router and your media sources and destinations.

You'll work with two types of router I/O:

• Router inputs - These receive your content from sources such as live camera feeds, satellite downlinks, and studio productions

• Router outputs - These deliver your content to destinations such as broadcast transmitters, a playout server, and monitoring displays

Each I/O can handle specific bitrates and protocols, which you set up during I/O creation. You can create as many router I/Os as you need and manage them all from one place, even if they're in different AWS Regions.

This chapter shows you everything you need to know about working with router I/Os.
