Adding a AWS MediaLive Channel

aws mediallive service is an elemental transcoder that performs both transcoding (encoding) and hls packaging in a single service the input to the medialive channel must be a mediaconnect channel or an aws elemental link requirements the input to the medialive channel must be a mediaconnect channel or an aws elemental link so before configuring the medialive channel, make sure you have a mediaconnect channel or an aws elemental link configured it is not possible to go from a broadcaster or a medialive channel directly before configuring the medialive channel, the target must be created and it must be enabled if you try to attach a target to a medialive channel that was not enabled, you will have to disable the medialive channel then attach the target, enable the target and then enable the mediallive channel to create a new medialive channel in the main navigation, click channels click + add the create new channel selection menu is displayed create new channel selection menu click on aws medialive flow the create medialive flow window is displayed create medialive flow window in the info section, in the name field, enter a logical name for the channel 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 an tag, you are relating this channel 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 docid\ ypm9tw81ap6nq8stkv4rd in the events configuration profile field, select from the dropdown list the profile that you would like to apply to this channel 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 configuration section, verify that create new is selected (default) in the aws account field, select from the drop down list the aws mediaconnect account that you would like to use for this flow if the source does not exist in the cluster, then the cluster will pull the source automatically in the region field, select from the drop down list the aws region that you would like to use for this flow in the availability zone field, select from the drop down list the availability zone that you would like to use for this flow to use an existing iam role arn, select select existing and select an existing role arn from the drop down list to specify a custom arn, select specify custom arn and enter the amazon resource name in the role arn in the source field, select one of the following aws mediaconnect flow select this option if you want to place a mediaconnect flow be fore the medialive channel select from the drop down list the aws mediaconnect flow that you would like to assign to this channel specifying a source is optional you can create a channel without assigning a source, although it won’t be activated until you assign a source at a later time you can also switch to a different source at a later time to learn about creating a mediaconnect source, see adding an aws mediaconnect source – creating a zen master managed flow docid\ ynop9bisiol7zuvi6klmz aws elemental link aws medialive link source aws account and region must match settings above select the aws elemental link source from the drop down menu in the initial state section, select the disabled checkbox if you would like to disable this channel upon initial
