# Setting up an HLS input
<a name="input-create-hls-pull"></a>

This section describes how to create an HLS input. With an HLS input, MediaLive connects to the upstream system when the channel starts and *pulls* the sources. 

To perform this setup, you must work with an operator at the upstream system.
