create_sdi_source

MediaLive.Client.create_sdi_source(**kwargs)

Create an SdiSource for each video source that uses the SDI protocol. You will reference the SdiSource when you create an SDI input in MediaLive. You will also reference it in an SdiSourceMapping, in order to create a connection between the logical SdiSource and the physical SDI card and port that the physical SDI source uses.
