Step 6: Arrange for delivery to downstream systems
As the final step in preparing the downstream and upstream systems in your workflow, you must perform this step on each downstream system:
-
You and the operator at the downstream system must agree on some portions of the path from AWS Elemental MediaLive to the downstream system.
-
You must arrange for the operator at the downstream system to perform some setup so that MediaLive can successfully send outputs to these systems.
The setup is different for each type of output group and downstream system.
The output from MediaLive is considered input to this downstream system. You and the operator of the downstream system must agree about the input locations on the downstream system now, because when you create the MediaLive channel you need those URL locations.
Note that this guide describes how to set up an origin server. It does not describe how to set up the CDN that is downstream of the origin server. For information about that setup, see the documentation for the chosen origin server.
The options
The following table summarizes the combinations of output group and downstream system that are covered in the following sections.
|
Output group |
Downstream system |
Section to read |
|---|---|---|
| Archive | Amazon S3 | |
| Frame capture | Amazon S3 | |
| HLS | Amazon S3 | |
| HLS | AWS Elemental MediaStore | |
| HLS | AWS Elemental MediaPackage | |
| HLS | AWS Elemental MediaPackage | |
| HLS | HTTP server or Akamai CDN | |
| MediaPackage | AWS Elemental MediaPackage | |
| Microsoft Smooth | HTTP server | |
| RTMP | RTMP server | |

Result of this step
At the end of this step, you will have completed all the steps to prepare the downstream system to receive content from MediaLive.
