# Obtain destination for a CMAF Ingest output group
<a name="downstream-system-cmafi-empv2"></a>

1. Decide if you need two destination URLs for the output: 
   + You need two destinations in a [standard channel](plan-redundancy.md).
   + You need one destination in a single-pipeline channel.

1. Obtain the one or two URLs from the MediaPackage operator. The MediaPackage terminology for the URL is *input endpoint*. Make sure that you obtain the URLs (which start with `https://`), not the channel name (which starts with `arn`). 

   Note that you don't use user credentials to send to CMAF Ingest to MediaPackage.

**Example**

Two URLs look like this example:

`https://mz82o4-1.ingest.hnycui.mediapackagev2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/in/v1/curling-channel-group/1/curling-channel/`

`https://mz82o4-2.ingest.hnycui.mediapackagev2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/in/v1/curling-channel-group/1/curling-channel/`

Note the following:
+ The `v1/` near the end of the URL is the version of the MediaPackage destination URL schema, it doesn't refer to MediaPackage v1.
+ `curling-channel-group/` is the name of the channel group that the MediaPackage operator created.
+ `curling-channel/` is the name of the MediaPackage channel that the MediaPackage operator created. It isn't the name of the MediaLive channel.
+ The only difference in the two URLs is the `-1` and `-2` before `.ingest`.
