      The SCTE-35 ad insertion type. Accepted value: SPLICE_INSERT , TIME_SIGNAL .

    • OffsetMillis (integer) --

      How long (in milliseconds) after the beginning of the program that an ad starts. This value must fall within 100ms of a segment boundary, otherwise the ad break will be skipped.

          • SegmentsExpected (integer) --

            The number of segments expected, which is assigned to the segmentation_descriptor.segments_expectedS message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 0.

type ChannelName

string

param ChannelName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the channel for this Program.

type LiveSourceName

string

param LiveSourceName

The name of the LiveSource for this Program.

type ProgramName

string

param ProgramName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the Program.

type ScheduleConfiguration

dict

param ScheduleConfiguration

[REQUIRED]

The schedule configuration settings.

  • Transition (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

    Program transition configurations.

    • DurationMillis (integer) --

      The duration of the live program in seconds.

    • RelativePosition (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The position where this program will be inserted relative to the RelativePosition .

    • RelativeProgram (string) --

      The name of the program that this program will be inserted next to, as defined by RelativePosition .

    • ScheduledStartTimeMillis (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 .

type SourceLocationName

string

param SourceLocationName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the source location.

type VodSourceName

string

param VodSourceName

The name that's used to refer to a VOD source.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • AdBreaks (list) --

      The ad break configuration settings.

      • (dict) --

        Ad break configuration parameters.

        • MessageType (string) --

          The SCTE-35 ad insertion type. Accepted value: SPLICE_INSERT , TIME_SIGNAL .

        • OffsetMillis (integer) --

          How long (in milliseconds) after the beginning of the program that an ad starts. This value must fall within 100ms of a segment boundary, otherwise the ad break will be skipped.

        • Slate (dict) --

          Ad break slate configuration.

          • SourceLocationName (string) --

            The name of the source location where the slate VOD source is stored.

          • VodSourceName (string) --

            The slate VOD source name. The VOD source must already exist in a source location before it can be used for slate.

        • SpliceInsertMessage (dict) --

          This defines the SCTE-35 splice_insert() message inserted around the ad. For information about using splice_insert() , see the SCTE-35 specficiaiton, section 9.7.3.1.

          • AvailNum (integer) --

            This is written to splice_insert.avail_num , as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 0 . Values must be between 0 and 256 , inclusive.

          • AvailsExpected (integer) --

            This is written to splice_insert.avails_expected , as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 0 . Values must be between 0 and 256 , inclusive.

          • SpliceEventId (integer) --

            This is written to splice_insert.splice_event_id , as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 1 .

          • UniqueProgramId (integer) --

            This is written to splice_insert.unique_program_id , as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 0 . Values must be between 0 and 256 , inclusive.

        • TimeSignalMessage (dict) --

          Defines the SCTE-35 time_signal message inserted around the ad.

          Programs on a channel's schedule can be configured with one or more ad breaks. You can attach a splice_insert SCTE-35 message to the ad break. This message provides basic metadata about the ad break.

          See section 9.7.4 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification for more information.

          • SegmentationDescriptors (list) --

            The configurations for the SCTE-35 segmentation_descriptor message(s) sent with the time_signal message.

            • (dict) --

              The segmentation_descriptor message can contain advanced metadata fields, like content identifiers, to convey a wide range of information about the ad break. MediaTailor writes the ad metadata in the egress manifest as part of the EXT-X-DATERANGE or EventStream ad marker's SCTE-35 data.

              segmentation_descriptor messages must be sent with the time_signal message type.

              See the segmentation_descriptor() table of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification for more information.

              • SegmentNum (integer) --

                The segment number to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segment_num message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 0.

              • SegmentationEventId (integer) --

                The Event Identifier to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_event_id message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 1.

              • SegmentationTypeId (integer) --

                The Type Identifier to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_type_id message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 48.

              • SegmentationUpid (string) --

                The Upid to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_upid message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification.

              • SegmentationUpidType (integer) --

                The Upid Type to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_upid_type message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 14.
