# Creating a CMAF Ingest output group
<a name="opg-cmafi"></a>

When you create a AWS Elemental MediaLive channel, you might want to include a CMAF Ingest output group. For information about the use cases for a CMAF Ingest output group, see [Containers, protocols, and downstream systems](outputs-supported-containers-downstream-systems.md).

Note that MediaLive generates a quality score for outputs in a CMAF Ingest output group. For more information, see [Working with MQCS](mqcs.md).
