Provide connection information to the upstream system - MediaLive

Provide connection information to the upstream system

After you create the SRT Listener input, you must provide connection information to the operator at the upstream system so they can configure their SRT caller to connect to MediaLive.

To obtain the connection information

  1. On the Inputs page, choose the name of the SRT Listener input that you just created.

  2. On the input details page, in the Destinations section, note the IP addresses and port. For a standard-class input, there are two destinations. For a single-class input, there is one destination.

    The destinations will be in the format srt://ip-address:5050. For example:

    srt://54.123.45.67:5050

    srt://54.123.45.68:5050

  3. Provide these destination URLs to the operator of the upstream system. The operator must configure their SRT caller to connect to these addresses.

Make sure that the operator at the upstream system sets up as follows:

  • They set up to deliver the correct number of sources:

    • If the MediaLive channel is a standard channel, they must push to both destination addresses. Make sure that the two source contents are identical in terms of video resolution and bitrate.

    • If the MediaLive channel is a single-pipeline channel, they must push to the single destination address.

  • They configure their SRT caller to use the same encryption algorithm and passphrase that you agreed on.

  • They configure their SRT caller to use a latency value. SRT will negotiate and use the maximum of the latency values configured on both sides.

  • If you specified a stream ID in the input configuration, the upstream system can optionally send a stream ID value during connection. MediaLive accepts connections with any stream ID value (or no stream ID). The stream ID is logged for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes only.
