If your organization uses AWS Elemental Link devices with AWS Elemental MediaLive or AWS Elemental MediaConnect, you must deploy the device and configure the device.
AWS Elemental Link (Link ) is a hardware device that connects a live video source, such as a camera or video production equipment, to MediaLive. The Link device connects to AWS over a secure connection that AWS manages.
Your organization might use Link in one or both of these ways:
-
As the video source for the input that you attach to an AWS Elemental MediaLive channel. For more information about this input, see Setting up an Elemental Link input.
-
As the video source for an AWS Elemental MediaConnect flow. Only AWS Elemental Link UHD supports this usage. For more information about this input, see Creating a transport stream flow that uses a standard source in the AWS Elemental MediaConnect user guide.
You must perform preliminary setup tasks so that you can use the Link device. Then to use the device, you must configure it to be used in a MediaLive or a MediaConnect workflow.
