  • Transition (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

    Program transition configurations.

    • DurationMillis (integer) --

      The date and time that the program is scheduled to start, in epoch milliseconds.

    • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Defines when the program plays in the schedule. You can set the value to ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE .

      ABSOLUTE - The program plays at a specific wall clock time. This setting can only be used for channels using the LINEAR PlaybackMode .

      Note the following considerations when using ABSOLUTE transitions:

      If the preceding program in the schedule has a duration that extends past the wall clock time, MediaTailor truncates the preceding program on a common segment boundary.

      If there are gaps in playback, MediaTailor plays the FillerSlate you configured for your linear channel.

      RELATIVE - The program is inserted into the schedule either before or after a program that you specify via RelativePosition .
