Inputs

Setting up the input source

The channel can have a single input or multiples inputs. All the output groups (both those that are audio-only and those that are video-and-audio) always ingest the same inputs.

You can use one of the following two categories of input.

• Input that contains only audio. In this case, the input must be one of these inputs and must be in a Transport Stream (TS) container:

  • MediaConnect input

  • RTP input

• Input that contains both audio and video (and optionally captions). In this case, the input can be any input type that MediaLive supports.

Setting up input attachments

In each input attachment, create as many audio selectors as you require. For example, create a selector for each language to extract. Or create a selector for each audio quality or codec that is available.

Keep in mind that in a channel with both audio-only and audio-and-video output groups, you don't have to create special audio selectors for the sole use of the audio-only output. The same audio selector can be used by both audio-only and audio-and-video output groups.
