Adding an AWS Elemental Link Source

You can add an input from a AWS Elemental Link to an AWS MediaLive Ingest Cluster to be managed as a Source in ZEN Master. The streaming uses the Zixi protocol. Once the AWS MediaLive channel is configured, ZEN Master will automatically configure the component to push the stream to the relevant MediaConnect Flow.

Open

To create an AWS Elemental Link Source:

1. In the main navigation, click Sources.

2. Click + Add.
   The Create New Source window is displayed.
   
   

   Open

   

3. Under AWS Media, click on AWS Elemental Link.
   The Create New AWS Elemental Link Source window opens.
   
   

   Open

   

4. In the Info section, in the Name field, type a logical name for the Source.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. In the Source configuration section, specify the AWS Account and Region in which the MediaConnect is deployed.

8. In the AWS Elemental Link field, specify the origin AWS Elemental Link.

9. 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.
