Creating a transport stream flow that uses an entitled source
Transport stream flows transport compressed content that is muxed into a single stream. An entitled source is content that comes from another AWS account.
Create a transport stream flow that uses an entitled source (console)
Open the MediaConnect console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/
. -
On the Flows page, choose Create flow.
-
In the Details section, for Name, specify a name for your flow. This name will become part of the ARN for this flow.
Note
MediaConnect allows you to create multiple flows with the same name. However, we encourage you to use unique flow names within an AWS Region to help with organization. After you create a flow, you can't change the name.
-
For Availability Zone, choose an Availability Zone for your flow. Use this option when you are setting up redundant flows. Otherwise, you can leave this as Any. If you leave the default, the service will randomly assign an Availability Zone within the current AWS Region , or if your source comes from a VPC, the service will assign the Availability Zone of the VPC subnet to the flow.
Note
If your source comes from your VPC, the Availability Zone of your flow must match that of your VPC subnet. We recommend that you leave this as Any and let the service ensure that the Availability Zone is set correctly.
-
In the Source section, for Source type choose Entitled source.
-
For Entitlement ARN, choose the appropriate entitlement. This list includes all entitlements that have been granted to you.
Tip
You can click in this field and start entering the entitlement name. MediaConnect will filter the list to include only entitlements with a name that matches what you enter.
-
Choose Create flow.
Note
The flow doesn't start automatically. You must start the flow manually.
-
Add outputs to specify where you want MediaConnect to send the content, or grant entitlements to allow users of other AWS accounts to subscribe to your content.
