Use the Java producer library
You can use the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams provided Java producer library to write application code with minimal configuration, to send media data from a device to a Kinesis video stream.
Perform the following steps to integrate your code with Kinesis Video Streams so that your application can start streaming data to your Kinesis video stream:
-
Create an instance of the
KinesisVideoClientobject. -
Create a
MediaSourceobject by providing media source information. For example, when creating a camera media source, you provide information such as identifying the camera and specifying the encoding the camera uses.When you want to start streaming, you must create a custom media source.
-
Register the media source with
KinesisVideoClient.After you register the media source with
KinesisVideoClient, whenever the data becomes available with the media source, it callsKinesisVideoClientwith the data.
Procedure: Use the Java producer SDK
This procedure demonstrates how to use the Kinesis Video Streams Java producer client in your Java application to send data to your Kinesis video stream.
These steps don't require you to have a media source, such as a camera or microphone. Instead, for testing purposes, the code generates sample frames that consist of a series of bytes. You can use the same coding pattern when you send media data from real sources such as cameras and microphones.
The procedure includes the following steps:
