# Setting up a CDI input
<a name="input-create-cdi-push"></a>

This section describes how to create a CDI push input. With a CDI source, the upstream system *pushes* the content to MediaLive. 

To perform this setup, you must work with an Amazon VPC user, with an operator at the upstream system, and you must work within MediaLive.

**Note**  
Make sure that the content provider is using the latest version of the [AWS CDI SDK](https://aws.amazon.com/media-services/resources/cdi/) on their CDI source device.
