Ensure correct setup on the upstream system - MediaLive

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 RTP input. These endpoints are the addresses in the blue boxes in the diagram after this procedure. The URLs include port 5000. For example:

      198.51.100.99:5000

      192.0.2.18:5000

  2. Make sure that the operator sets up properly for a standard channel. They must:

    • 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. For example, they must push to:

      198.51.100.99:5000

      192.0.2.18:5000

    • Send over RTP, not UDP. The UDP protocol is not supported for an input into MediaLive.

To set up for a single-pipeline channel

Follow this procedure if the MediaLive channel is a single-pipeline channel.

  1. Provide the operator with this information:

    • Only the first of the two endpoints (URLs) that MediaLive generated when you created the RTP input. This endpoint is one of the addresses in the blue boxes in the diagram after this procedure. The URL includes port 5000. For example:

      198.51.100.99:5000

  2. Make sure that the operator sets up properly for a single-pipeline channel. They must:

    • Make sure that the source appears on the agreed IP addresses on the public network. For example:

      203.0.113.19, 203.0.113.58, 203.0.113.25

      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 URL on MediaLive. For example, they must push to:

      198.51.100.99:5000

    • Send over RTP, not UDP. The UDP protocol is not supported for an input into MediaLive.
