Setting up for POIS signal conditioning

With POIS signal conditioning, the MediaLive channel and the POIS server must be set up with identical information.

Required information

Obtain the following information from the POIS operator:

• The POIS server endpoint. This is the URL of the POIS server that MediaLive will send events to. The URL must be reachable by MediaLive.

• The Acquisition point identity and the Zone identity (optional). These two fields ensure that MediaLive and the POIS server have a common identifier for the channel.

• POIS endpoint credentials, if the POIS server requires credentials.

Set up the channel

You must configure the channel with information about the POIS server.

1. Open the MediaLive console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/.

2. Display the details for the channel. In the General settings section, expand Avail Configuration.

3. Complete the fields as follows:

   • Avail Settings: ESAM

   • POIS Endpoint: The URL that you obtained from the POIS operator.

   • Acquisition Point Identity: The value that you obtained from the POIS operator.

   • Zone Identity: The value that you obtained from the POIS operator.

   • Ad Avail Offset: Enter 0 unless the POIS operator tells you to enter a different value.

   • POIS Endpoint Credentials (optional): Complete these fields if your POIS server requires a username and password.
