Adding a media stream to a MediaConnect flow - AWS Elemental MediaConnect

Before you can associate a media stream with a source or an output, you need to add it to the flow. After you add a media stream to a flow, you can associate it with a source and then with outputs.

Note

You can only associate a media stream with an output if it has already been associated with a source on the flow.

To add a media stream to a flow

  1. Open the MediaConnect console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/.

  2. On the Flows page, choose the name of the flow that you want to add the media stream to.

  3. Choose the Media streams tab.

  4. Choose Add media stream.

  5. In the Name field, specify a descriptive name that will help you distinguish this media stream from others in the flow.

  6. For Description, specify a description that will help you remember the use of this media stream.

  7. For Stream ID, specify a unique identifier for the media stream.

    If the source or any of the outputs uses the CDI protocol, specify the value that is expected by the production and playout systems.

    If the source and all outputs use the ST 2110 JPEG XS protocol, specify a value that is unique to that of other media streams within the flow.

  8. Choose Advanced options to display the additional options based on your stream type.

  9. For specific instructions on the advanced options based on your stream type, choose one of the following tabs:

    Audio

    1. For Stream type, choose Audio.

    2. For Media clock rate, specify the sample rate for the stream. This value is measured in Hz.

    3. For Language, specify the language of the audio. This value should be in a format that the receiver recognizes.

    4. For Channel order, specify the format of the audio channel.

    5. Choose Add media stream.

    Video

    1. For Stream type, choose Video.

      For many fields, MediaConnect provides a default value that represents the recommended setting. Change the default value if needed.

    2. Media clock rate is the sample rate for the stream, and is set to 90000. This value is measured in Hz.

    3. For Video format, specify the resolution of the video.

    4. For Exact framerate, specify the frame rate of the video. This value should be represented in frames per second.

    5. For Colorimetry, specify the format that was used for the representation of color in the video.

    6. For Scan mode, specify the method that was used to scan the incoming video.

      • Choose Interlace if the incoming video is interlaced (for example, 480i or 1080i).

      • Choose Progressive if the incoming video is progressive (for example, 720p or 1080p).

      • Choose Progressive segmented frame if the incoming video is PSF (for example, 1080psf).

    7. For TCS, specify the transfer characteristic system (TCS) that was used in the video.

    8. For Range, specify the encoding range of the video.

    9. For PAR, specify the pixel access ratio (PAR) of the video.

    10. Choose Add media stream.

    Ancillary data

    1. For Stream type, choose Ancillary data.

    2. Media clock rate is the sample rate for the stream, and is set to 90000. This value is measured in Hz.

    3. Choose Add media stream.

    1. For Stream type, choose Audio.

    3. For Language, specify the language of the audio. This value should be in a format that the receiver recognizes.

    4. For Channel order, specify the format of the audio channel.

    5. Choose Add media stream.
