Adding a RIST-protocol MediaConnect Source
To create a RIST MediaConnect Source:
In the main navigation, click Sources.
Click + Add.
The Create New Source window is displayed.Under AWS Media, click on AWS MediaConnect.
The Create New AWS Media Source window opens.In the Info section, in the Name field, type a logical name for the Source.
In the Tags field, select one or more of the predefined Tags from the drop-down list.
Tags are used for access control. By selecting a Tag, you are relating this Source to that Tag. Tags are associated with certain roles (through the Users & Roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups. If you would like to create a new Tag, see Creating a Tag.In the Events Configuration Profile field, select from the dropdown list the profile that you would like to apply to this Source. By default, the Default profile is applied. Events Profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of Events are logged and what results they trigger.
In the Input section, under Protocol, select the RIST radio button.
In the Ingest Port field, enter the port that the Flow will listen on for incoming content.
In the Max Bitrate field, enter the maximum bitrate to be used on this NIC.
In the Latency [ms] field, select the latency time for the stream (default 4000).
You are required by MediaConnect to enter a valid Whitelist CIDR block. The whitelist CIDR block is a range of IP addresses that should be allowed to contribute content to your source. These IP addresses must be in the form of a Classless Inter-Domain Routing block. For example, 10.0.0.0/16. Through source needs to be in the range covered by this CIDR block. Any IP address with this range is allowed to send content to this flow.
In the Initial State section, select the Muted checkbox if you would like to disable error/recovery notifications for this Source upon initial configuration. You can Unmute the Source at any time.
