Create the receiver group - AWS Elemental Live

Create the receiver group

You must create the SMPTE 2110 receiver groups that you need. Each receiver group identifies the set of individual streams of video, audio, and ancillary data (captions and SCTE 104 messages) that you want to treat as one input.

  1. In the Elemental Live web interface, hover over Settings and choose Input Devices. Scroll down to the SMPTE 2110 Receiver Groups section.

  2. Choose Create SMPTE 2110 Receiver Groups. Fields appear.

  3. In NMOS SMPTE 2110 Input, enter a name for the receiver group. This name will appear in the dropdown list of inputs when you create an Elemental Live event or Conductor Live profile.

  4. Adjust the remaining fields to match your requirements. The receiver group must include one video stream. But the audio and ancillary streams are optional.

    • Click Add Audio SDP to add one or more rows for audio streams. Or click Remove if you don't want any audio in the input.

    • Click Add Ancillary SDP to add one or more rows for ancillary streams (captions and SCTE-104 streams).

    Following example 1 above, you will three audio SDPs, and two ancillary SDPs.

    Following example 2 above, you will one audio SDP, and two ancillary SDPs.

  5. Complete each stream row as follows:

    • Label: Enter a description. For example, in the video stream, enter vid_rx.

      Elemental Live will combine the receiver group name and the label to create a name for the stream that is unique to that system.

    • Interface: Enter the network interface for this stream to connect to the Elemental Live node. For example, eth4.

    • Secondary Interface: If you want to implement SMPTE 2022-7 , enter the interface for the secondary source. For example, eth5.

    • GUID: This field is auto-populated with a system-generated value. You might want to change this value, for example, to make it match values you created outside of Elemental Live. To change the value, choose Show Advanced and enter the new value.

  6. Follow this step only if you are using Conductor Live. You must import the SMPTE 2110 receiver group input into Conductor Live.

    • On the primary Conductor Live web interface, choose the Cluster page, then choose Nodes.

    • Choose the down arrow beside the node and select Import Devices.

    You will now be able to use this input when you create a channel in Conductor Live. The names of all the imported SMPTE 2110 inputs will appear in the list of devices.
