Step 4: Ensure correct setup on the upstream system - MediaLive

Step 4: Ensure correct setup on the upstream system

You must make sure that the upstream system pushes content to the correct locations in MediaLive.

To set up for a standard channel

Follow this procedure if the MediaLive channel is a standard channel.

  1. Provide the operator with this information:

    • The two endpoints (URLs) that MediaLive generated when you created the RTMP input. These endpoints are the addresses in the blue boxes in the diagram after this procedure. The URLs include port 1935. For example:

      198.51.100.99:1935/live/curling

      192.0.2.18:1935/live/curling

  2. Make sure that the operator sets up properly for a single-pipeline channel or a standard channel.

    If your channel is a single-pipeline channel, the operator delivers only one source, even though the input is a standard (dual-pipeline) input. The operator must do the following:

    • Deliver one source.

    • Make sure that the sources appear on the agreed IP addresses on the public network. For example:

      • The sources could appear on these addresses: 203.0.113.19, 203.0.113.58, 203.0.113.25

      • The operator can ignore the other addresses: 198.51.100.19, 198.51.100.59, 198.51.100.21

      You used these addresses when you created the input security group. If the upstream system doesn't use these addresses, MediaLive will refuse the push.

    • Push to one URL on MediaLive, and use the agreed application name and instance name. For example:

      Push to this URL: 198.51.100.99:1935/live/curling

      Ignore the other URL: 192.0.2.18:1935/live/curling

    If your channel is a standard channel, the operator must do the following:

    • Deliver two sources that are identical in terms of video resolution and bitrate.

    • Make sure that the sources appear on the agreed IP addresses on the public network. For example:

      • For one source: 203.0.113.19, 203.0.113.58, 203.0.113.25

      • For the other source: 198.51.100.19, 198.51.100.59, 198.51.100.21

      You used these addresses when you created the input security group. If the upstream system doesn't use these addresses, MediaLive will refuse the push.

    • Push to the correct URLs on MediaLive, and use the agreed application name and instance name. For example, they must push to:

      198.51.100.99:1935/live/curling

      192.0.2.18:1935/live/curling
