Importing a MediaConnect Flow Channel
To import an existing MediaConnect Flow Channel:
In the main navigation, click Channels.
Click + Add. The Create New Channel selection menu is displayed.
Click on AWS MediaConnect Flow. The Create MediaConnect Flow window is displayed.
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.
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, select Import Existing.
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 AWS MediaConnect Flow field, select from the drop-down list the Flow from which you would like to create this Channel.
In the Source field, select from the drop-down list the AWS MediaConnect type Source 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 .
In the Initial State, select the Muted checkbox if you would like to disable error/recovery notifications for this Channel upon initial configuration.
You can Enable/Unmute the Channel at any time.
Click Save.
