In AWS Elemental Live , you can deliver a transport stream (TS) output from using the SRT protocol. You can choose to encrypt the content with AES. This SRT delivery option is part of the Reliable TS output group.
Note
The SRT option is intended for sending to a downstream system other than AWS Elemental MediaConnect.
To send to an SRT flow on MediaConnect, we recommend that you use the Reliable TS output group with the AWS Elemental MediaConnect option. See Setting up Elemental Live as a Contribution Encoder for AWS Elemental MediaConnect.
There are two ways to configure the transmission, one with Elemental Live as the SRT caller, one with Elemental Live as the SRT listener. (In both cases, Elemental Live is the sender. In other words, don't confuse the sender/receiver roles with the caller/listener roles.)
Typically, the decision about the caller/listener roles is made by the downstream destination:
-
If the downstream destination is set up as the listener, then Elemental Live must set up as the caller.
-
If the downstream destination is set up as the caller, then Elemental Live must set up as the listener.
The SRT caller always initiates the handshake that precedes successful transmission of the output. The SRT listener accepts or rejects the handshake.
