Summary

Added documentation for NDI source settings, clarified update procedure for flow source type and flow size changes, updated terminology from 'AWS Secrets Manager' to 'Secrets Manager', and fixed minor typos.

Security assessment

The changes primarily add new NDI source configuration options and clarify operational procedures. Terminology updates for Secrets Manager are branding adjustments without security implications. No vulnerabilities, patches, or security incidents are referenced in the changes.

+### Note
+
+Because `UpdateFlowSources` and `UpdateFlow` are separate operations, you can’t change both the source type AND the flow size in a single request.
+
+  * If you have a `MEDIUM` flow and you want to change the flow source to NDI®:
+    * First, use the `UpdateFlow` operation to upgrade the flow size to `LARGE` .
+    * After that, you can then use the `UpdateFlowSource` operation to configure the NDI source.
+  * If you’re switching from an NDI source to a transport stream (TS) source and want to downgrade the flow size:
+    * First, use the `UpdateFlowSource` operation to change the flow source type.
+    * After that, you can then use the `UpdateFlow` operation to downgrade the flow size to `MEDIUM` .
