You can configure MediaLive to extract specific ancillary data from a SMPTE 2038 stream contained in these inputs:
+ Elemental Link inputs
+ HLS transport stream (TS) inputs 
+ MediaConnect inputs
+ RTP inputs
+ SRT Caller inputs
+ SRT Listener inputs

**Note**  
This section assumes that you are familiar with creating or editing a channel, as described in [Creating a channel from scratch](creating-channel-scratch.md).
