AWS Elemental Link input configuration
This solution includes support for the AWS Elemental Link device
as a source for live streaming content. AWS Elemental Link offers
a configuration-free, cost-efficient way to securely and reliably
transfer video to MediaLive. For more details on the device, refer
to the
AWS Elemental Link product page
To configure this solution to use an AWS Elemental Link device you need the following:
-
A Link device powered on and connected to the internet.
-
The Link device ID. To find the device ID, sign in to the AWS Elemental MediaLive console
and navigate to MediaLive Devices in the AWS Region where your device is registered. The device is listed with the Link device ID. Launch the solution in the same Region as the Link device with the following parameters:
-
Source Input Type - INPUT_DEVICE
-
AWS Elemental Link Input Device ID - The ID of the Link device from the MediaLive console. You can only attach a Link device to one input at a time. If the Link device is already attached to an input, you cannot create a new input using that device.
-
Encoding Profile - Select the profile that best matches your source resolution.
-
Start MediaLive Channel - If your device is ready to stream, select true. Otherwise, select false—you can start the MediaLive channel through the MediaLive console when you’re ready to stream.
Note
For a full list of input types and configuration details, refer to Creating an input in the AWS Elemental MediaLive User Guide.
