Registering an endpoint in MediaConnect

You can register endpoints to represent the senders and receivers in your media workflows.

Prerequisites

  • You have an AWS account.

  • You know the AWS Region where you want to register the endpoint.

  • For a standard endpoint:

    • You have the connection details of the sender or receiver that the endpoint represents, such as its protocol, address, and port.

    • To encrypt content, you have a secret in AWS Secrets Manager.

  • For a router endpoint:

    • You have a router output (for a source endpoint) or a router input (for a destination endpoint) that uses MediaConnect endpoints connection management. For more information about creating router I/Os, see Creating a router I/O in MediaConnect.

Procedure

  1. Open the MediaConnect console.

  2. In the navigation pane, under Endpoints, choose Source endpoints.

  3. Choose Register source endpoint.

  4. Under Source endpoint details, provide the following information:

    1. Description - (Optional) Enter a description for the source endpoint.

    2. AWS Region - Choose the AWS Region where you want to register the source endpoint.

    3. Configuration type - Choose Standard or Router output.

  5. Complete the configuration for the configuration type that you chose:

    1. Standard - To represent a sender outside MediaConnect, follow these steps:

      1. Under Source endpoint details, for Name, enter a descriptive name to help you identify the source endpoint.

      2. Under Protocol configuration, choose a Protocol (SRT Caller, SRT Listener, RTP, or RIST), and then complete the protocol settings.

      3. (Optional) To encrypt content, complete the encryption configuration and provide a secret. For more information about encrypting endpoints, see Encrypting endpoints in MediaConnect.

      4. Under Source network configuration, choose a Network type:

        1. For the Public network type, specify the allowed Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) ranges.

        2. For VPC, choose a Subnet ID and up to five entries for Security group IDs.

    2. Router output - To represent a router output, under Router output configuration, choose the Router output ARN. You can choose only router outputs that use MediaConnect endpoints connection management.

  6. (Optional) Under Tags, add tags to help you identify and organize the source endpoint.

  7. Choose Register.

  1. Open the MediaConnect console.

  2. In the navigation pane, under Endpoints, choose Destination endpoints.

  3. Choose Register destination endpoint.

  4. Under Destination endpoint details, provide the following information:

    1. Description - (Optional) Enter a description for the destination endpoint.

    2. AWS Region - Choose the AWS Region where you want to register the destination endpoint.

    3. Configuration type - Choose Standard or Router input.

  5. Complete the configuration for the configuration type that you chose:

    1. Standard - To represent a receiver outside MediaConnect, follow these steps:

      1. Under Destination endpoint details, for Name, enter a descriptive name to help you identify the destination endpoint.

      2. Under Protocol configuration, choose a Protocol (SRT Caller, SRT Listener, RTP, or RIST), and then complete the protocol settings.

      3. (Optional) To decrypt content, complete the decryption configuration and provide a secret. For more information about encrypting endpoints, see Encrypting endpoints in MediaConnect.

      4. Under Destination network configuration, choose a Network type:

        1. For the Public network type, specify the allowed CIDR ranges.

        2. For VPC, choose a Subnet ID and up to five entries for Security group IDs.

    2. Router input - To represent a router input, under Router input configuration, choose the Router input ARN. You can choose only router inputs that use MediaConnect endpoints connection management.

  6. (Optional) Under Tags, add tags to help you identify and organize the destination endpoint.

  7. Choose Register.
