Create an SRT Listener input - MediaLive

Create an SRT Listener input

After you have obtained the necessary information from the upstream system and created an input security group, you can create the SRT Listener input.

To set up an SRT Listener input

  1. Make sure that you have the information that you obtained from the upstream system.

  2. Open the MediaLive console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Inputs. On the Inputs page, choose Create input. Then choose SRT Listener.

  4. In the Input class section, choose the class for this input:

    • STANDARD_INPUT: MediaLive allocates two IP addresses for redundancy.

    • SINGLE_INPUT: MediaLive allocates one IP address.

  5. In the Input security group section, select the input security group that you created or identified earlier. This security group must include the IP address of the upstream system that will push content to this input.

  6. In the SRT Listener settings section, complete the following fields:

    • Minimum latency: Enter the latency value in milliseconds that you agreed on with the upstream system. The valid range is 120 to 15000 milliseconds. SRT will choose the maximum of the values proposed by the sender and receiver.

    • Stream ID: Optional. Enter the stream ID if the upstream system uses this identifier.

  7. Complete the Decryption fields. Encryption is required for SRT Listener inputs:

    • Algorithm: Select the encryption algorithm that you agreed on with the upstream system: AES 128, AES 192, or AES 256. Encryption always uses AES, but the algorithm length can be negotiated between you and the sender. If you don't know what length to use, enter the lowest value. If the sender negotiates to use a longer length, MediaLive will always agree to that higher length.

    • Passphrase secret ARN: If the list of ARNs is populated, select the ARN of the passphrase that you created earlier. If the list is empty, type the ARN into the entry field.

  8. In the Tags section, create tags if you want to associate tags with this input. For more information, see Tagging resources.

  9. Choose Create. MediaLive creates the input and allocates one or two IP addresses (depending on the input class). The input appears in the list of inputs with the allocated IP addresses and port 5050.
