Provide information to the downstream system

The downstream system might need the source IP addresses of the one or two MediaLive streams, so that they can allow these addresses to connect to them. If the downstream system is MediaConnect, it definitely needs this information.

On an AWS Cloud channel

Read this information if your organization doesn't deploy MediaLive Anywhere.

• After you have created the channel, select the channel by its name. The channel details appear.

  In the Destinations tab, find the Egress endpoints section. Copy the one or two IP addresses. There is one set of addresses for the channel, not one set for each output.

• Make a note of the IP addresses and label them correctly as pipeline 0 and pipeline 1. Give them to the downstream operator.

On a MediaLive Anywhere channel

Read this information if your channel is a MediaLive Anywhere channel, which means that it is running on an on-premises hardware, not in the AWS Cloud.

• Obtain the IP address of the Gateway into the network. You might need to speak to the network administrator in your organization. Give this address to the downstream operator.
