Adding AWS Outputs

The HTTP output stream, which is encapsulated in HLS or DASH/fMP4 HLS can be pushed to either an AWS S3 Bucket or to an AWS Elemental MediaStore. The native AWS support includes the ability to configure the S3 authentication credential, including the Region, Access Key, and Secret Key.

To Create an AWS Output:

In the Zixi Broadcaster Outputs page, click AWS. The New Output window is displayed.
Select the AWS option (radio button).
Type in the unique identifier for this output stream in the Output Name.
Select an Input Adaptive Group to be made available on this output from the adjacent drop-down list. To create an Adaptive Group, see Adaptive Groups.
Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: not selected.
Enter the Output Parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
Click OK.
