AWS Elemental Live supports ingest of a transport stream (TS) that is sent from an upstream system that is set up as an SRT listener. In this scenario, the upstream system waits for Elemental Live (the SRT caller) to initiate the SRT connection handshake that precedes the transmission of the source content. The transport stream source can be encrypted with AES.
Roles
With an SRT input, Elemental Live has two roles and the upstream system has two roles:
-
For the SRT connection handshake: Elemental Live is the SRT caller (the party that initiates the handshake). The upstream system is the SRT listener.
-
For the transmission: Elemental Live is always the receiver of the content. The upstream system is always the sender of the content.
