Setting up for a MediaConnect input

This section describes how to create a MediaConnect input. Create the input before you create the channel that ingests the input.

With a MediaConnect input, the service provider pushes content through MediaConnect to MediaLive. (From the point of view of MediaLive, the upstream system is MediaConnect. The upstream system is not the service provider.)

To perform this setup, you must work with an AWS Elemental MediaConnect user.
