Planning the channel in the workflow

You should plan the AWS Elemental MediaLive channel as the second stage of planning a transcoding workflow. You should have already performed the first stage of setting up the upstream and downstream systems, as described in Preparing the upstream and downstream systems in a workflow.

The channel provides the ability to configure for different characteristics of the outputs, and for including a wide array of video features. But before you plan these details, you should plan the basic features for the channel.
