PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
bitrate

number

False

Average bitrate in bits/second. Valid values depend on rate control mode and profile.

codingMode

AacCodingMode

False

Mono, Stereo, or 5.1 channel layout. Valid values depend on rate control mode and profile. The adReceiverMix setting receives a stereo description plus control track and emits a mono AAC encode of the description track, with control data emitted in the PES header as per ETSI TS 101 154 Annex E.

inputType

AacInputType

False

Set to "broadcasterMixedAd" when input contains pre-mixed main audio + AD (narration) as a stereo pair. The Audio Type field (audioType) will be set to 3, which signals to downstream systems that this stream contains "broadcaster mixed AD". Note that the input received by the encoder must contain pre-mixed audio; the encoder does not perform the mixing. The values in audioTypeControl and audioType (in AudioDescription) are ignored when set to broadcasterMixedAd. Leave set to "normal" when input does not contain pre-mixed audio + AD.

profile

AacProfile

False

AAC Profile.

rateControlMode

AacRateControlMode

False

Rate Control Mode.

rawFormat

AacRawFormat

False

Sets LATM / LOAS AAC output for raw containers.

sampleRate

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
height

number

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

True

See the description in leftOffset. For height, specify the entire height of the rectangle as a percentage of the underlying frame height. For example, \"80\" means the rectangle height is 80% of the underlying frame height. The topOffset and rectangleHeight must add up to 100% or less. This field corresponds to tts:extent - Y in the TTML standard.

leftOffset

number

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

True

Applies only if you plan to convert these source captions to EBU-TT-D or TTML in an output. (Make sure to leave the default if you don't have either of these formats in the output.) You can define a display rectangle for the captions that is smaller than the underlying video frame. You define the rectangle by specifying the position of the left edge, top edge, bottom edge, and right edge of the rectangle, all within the underlying video frame. The units for the measurements are percentages. If you specify a value for one of these fields, you must specify a value for all of them. For leftOffset, specify the position of the left edge of the rectangle, as a percentage of the underlying frame width, and relative to the left edge of the frame. For example, \"10\" means the measurement is 10% of the underlying frame width. The rectangle left edge starts at that position from the left edge of the frame. This field corresponds to tts:origin - X in the TTML standard.

topOffset

number

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

True

See the description in leftOffset. For topOffset, specify the position of the top edge of the rectangle, as a percentage of the underlying frame height, and relative to the top edge of the frame. For example, \"10\" means the measurement is 10% of the underlying frame height. The rectangle top edge starts at that position from the top edge of the frame. This field corresponds to tts:origin - Y in the TTML standard.

width

number

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
adaptiveQuantization

H264AdaptiveQuantization

False

Enables or disables adaptive quantization, which is a technique MediaLive can apply to video on a frame-by-frame basis to produce more compression without losing quality. There are three types of adaptive quantization: flicker, spatial, and temporal. Set the field in one of these ways: Set to Auto. Recommended. For each type of AQ, MediaLive will determine if AQ is needed, and if so, the appropriate strength. Set a strength (a value other than Auto or Disable). This strength will apply to any of the AQ fields that you choose to enable. Set to Disabled to disable all types of adaptive quantization.

afdSignaling

AfdSignaling

False

Indicates that AFD values will be written into the output stream. If afdSignaling is "auto", the system will try to preserve the input AFD value (in cases where multiple AFD values are valid). If set to "fixed", the AFD value will be the value configured in the fixedAfd parameter.

bitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

False

Average bitrate in bits/second. Required when the rate control mode is VBR or CBR. Not used for QVBR. In an MS Smooth output group, each output must have a unique value when its bitrate is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 1000.

fixedAfd

FixedAfd

False

Four bit AFD value to write on all frames of video in the output stream. Only valid when afdSignaling is set to 'Fixed'.

flickerAq

H264FlickerAq

False

Flicker AQ makes adjustments within each frame to reduce flicker or 'pop' on I-frames. The value to enter in this field depends on the value in the Adaptive quantization field: If you have set the Adaptive quantization field to Auto, MediaLive ignores any value in this field. MediaLive will determine if flicker AQ is appropriate and will apply the appropriate strength. If you have set the Adaptive quantization field to a strength, you can set this field to Enabled or Disabled. Enabled: MediaLive will apply flicker AQ using the specified strength. Disabled: MediaLive won't apply flicker AQ. If you have set the Adaptive quantization to Disabled, MediaLive ignores any value in this field and doesn't apply flicker AQ.

forceFieldPictures

H264ForceFieldPictures

False

This setting applies only when scan type is "interlaced." It controls whether coding is performed on a field basis or on a frame basis. (When the video is progressive, the coding is always performed on a frame basis.) enabled: Force MediaLive to code on a field basis, so that odd and even sets of fields are coded separately. disabled: Code the two sets of fields separately (on a field basis) or together (on a frame basis using PAFF), depending on what is most appropriate for the content.

framerateControl

H264FramerateControl

False

This field indicates how the output video frame rate is specified. If "specified" is selected then the output video frame rate is determined by framerateNumerator and framerateDenominator, else if "initializeFromSource" is selected then the output video frame rate will be set equal to the input video frame rate of the first input.

framerateDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Framerate denominator.

framerateNumerator

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Framerate numerator - framerate is a fraction, e.g. 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps.

gopBReference

H264GopBReference

False

If enabled, use reference B frames for GOP structures that have B frames > 1.

gopClosedCadence

integer

Minimum: 0

False

Frequency of closed GOPs. In streaming applications, it is recommended that this be set to 1 so a decoder joining mid-stream will receive an IDR frame as quickly as possible. Setting this value to 0 will break output segmenting.

gopNumBFrames

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 7

False

Number of B-frames between reference frames.

gopSize

number

False

GOP size (keyframe interval) in units of either frames or seconds per gopSizeUnits. If gopSizeUnits is frames, gopSize must be an integer and must be greater than or equal to 1. If gopSizeUnits is seconds, gopSize must be greater than 0, but need not be an integer.

gopSizeUnits

integer

Minimum: 1000

False

For QVBR: See the tooltip for Quality level For VBR: Set the maximum bitrate in order to accommodate expected spikes in the complexity of the video.

minIInterval

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 30

False

Only meaningful if sceneChangeDetect is set to enabled. Defaults to 5 if multiplex rate control is used. Enforces separation between repeated (cadence) I-frames and I-frames inserted by Scene Change Detection. If a scene change I-frame is within I-interval frames of a cadence I-frame, the GOP is shrunk and/or stretched to the scene change I-frame. GOP stretch requires enabling lookahead as well as setting I-interval. The normal cadence resumes for the next GOP. Note: Maximum GOP stretch = GOP size + Min-I-interval - 1

numRefFrames

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 6

False

Number of reference frames to use. The encoder may use more than requested if using B-frames and/or interlaced encoding.

parControl

H264ParControl

False

This field indicates how the output pixel aspect ratio is specified. If "specified" is selected then the output video pixel aspect ratio is determined by parNumerator and parDenominator, else if "initializeFromSource" is selected then the output pixsel aspect ratio will be set equal to the input video pixel aspect ratio of the first input.

parDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Pixel Aspect Ratio denominator.

parNumerator

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Pixel Aspect Ratio numerator.

profile

H264Profile

False

qualityLevel

H264QualityLevel

False

Leave as STANDARD_QUALITY or choose a different value (which might result in additional costs to run the channel). - ENHANCED_QUALITY: Produces a slightly better video quality without an increase in the bitrate. Has an effect only when the Rate control mode is QVBR or CBR. If this channel is in a MediaLive multiplex, the value must be ENHANCED_QUALITY. - STANDARD_QUALITY: Valid for any Rate control mode.

qvbrQualityLevel

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

False

Controls the target quality for the video encode. Applies only when the rate control mode is QVBR. You can set a target quality or you can let MediaLive determine the best quality. To set a target quality, enter values in the QVBR quality level field and the Max bitrate field. Enter values that suit your most important viewing devices. Recommended values are: - Primary screen: Quality level: 8 to 10. Max bitrate: 4M - PC or tablet: Quality level: 7. Max bitrate: 1.5M to 3M - Smartphone: Quality level: 6. Max bitrate: 1M to 1.5M To let MediaLive decide, leave the QVBR quality level field empty, and in Max bitrate enter the maximum rate you want in the video. For more information, see the section called "Video - rate control mode" in the MediaLive user guide

rateControlMode

H264RateControlMode

False

Rate control mode. QVBR: Quality will match the specified quality level except when it is constrained by the maximum bitrate. Recommended if you or your viewers pay for bandwidth. VBR: Quality and bitrate vary, depending on the video complexity. Recommended instead of QVBR if you want to maintain a specific average bitrate over the duration of the channel. CBR: Quality varies, depending on the video complexity. Recommended only if you distribute your assets to devices that cannot handle variable bitrates. Multiplex: This rate control mode is only supported (and is required) when the video is being delivered to a MediaLive Multiplex in which case the rate control configuration is controlled by the properties within the Multiplex Program.

scanType

H264ScanType

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 32

False

Number of slices per picture. Must be less than or equal to the number of macroblock rows for progressive pictures, and less than or equal to half the number of macroblock rows for interlaced pictures. This field is optional; when no value is specified the encoder will choose the number of slices based on encode resolution.

captionLanguageMappings

Array of type CaptionLanguageMapping

False

Mapping of up to 4 caption channels to caption languages. Is only meaningful if captionLanguageSetting is set to "insert".

captionLanguageSetting

HlsCaptionLanguageSetting

False

Applies only to 608 Embedded output captions. insert: Include CLOSED-CAPTIONS lines in the manifest. Specify at least one language in the CC1 Language Code field. One CLOSED-CAPTION line is added for each Language Code you specify. Make sure to specify the languages in the order in which they appear in the original source (if the source is embedded format) or the order of the caption selectors (if the source is other than embedded). Otherwise, languages in the manifest will not match up properly with the output captions. none: Include CLOSED-CAPTIONS=NONE line in the manifest. omit: Omit any CLOSED-CAPTIONS line from the manifest.

clientCache

HlsClientCache

False

When set to "disabled", sets the #EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:no tag in the manifest, which prevents clients from saving media segments for later replay.

codecSpecification

HlsCodecSpecification

Specification to use (RFC-6381 or the default RFC-4281) during m3u8 playlist generation.

constantIv

string

MinLength: 32

MaxLength: 32

False

For use with encryptionType. This is a 128-bit, 16-byte hex value represented by a 32-character text string. If ivSource is set to "explicit" then this parameter is required and is used as the IV for encryption.

destination

OutputLocationRef

True

A directory or HTTP destination for the HLS segments, manifest files, and encryption keys (if enabled).

directoryStructure

HlsDirectoryStructure

False

Place segments in subdirectories.

discontinuityTags

HlsDiscontinuityTags

False

Specifies whether to insert EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tags in the HLS child manifests for this output group. Typically, choose Insert because these tags are required in the manifest (according to the HLS specification) and serve an important purpose. Choose Never Insert only if the downstream system is doing real-time failover (without using the MediaLive automatic failover feature) and only if that downstream system has advised you to exclude the tags.

encryptionType

HlsEncryptionType

False

Encrypts the segments with the given encryption scheme. Exclude this parameter if no encryption is desired.

hlsCdnSettings

HlsCdnSettings

False

Parameters that control interactions with the CDN.

hlsId3SegmentTagging

HlsId3SegmentTaggingState

False

State of HLS ID3 Segment Tagging

iFrameOnlyPlaylists

IFrameOnlyPlaylistType

DISABLED: Do not create an I-frame-only manifest, but do create the master and media manifests (according to the Output Selection field). STANDARD: Create an I-frame-only manifest for each output that contains video, as well as the other manifests (according to the Output Selection field). The I-frame manifest contains a #EXT-X-I-FRAMES-ONLY tag to indicate it is I-frame only, and one or more #EXT-X-BYTERANGE entries identifying the I-frame position. For example, #EXT-X-BYTERANGE:160364@1461888"

incompleteSegmentBehavior

HlsIncompleteSegmentBehavior

False

Specifies whether to include the final (incomplete) segment in the media output when the pipeline stops producing output because of a channel stop, a channel pause or a loss of input to the pipeline. Auto means that MediaLive decides whether to include the final segment, depending on the channel class and the types of output groups. Suppress means to never include the incomplete segment. We recommend you choose Auto and let MediaLive control the behavior.

indexNSegments

integer

Minimum: 3

False

Applies only if Mode field is LIVE. Specifies the maximum number of segments in the media manifest file. After this maximum, older segments are removed from the media manifest. This number must be smaller than the number in the Keep Segments field.

False

Parameter that control output group behavior on input loss.

ivInManifest

HlsIvInManifest

False

For use with encryptionType. The IV (Initialization Vector) is a 128-bit number used in conjunction with the key for encrypting blocks. If set to "include", IV is listed in the manifest, otherwise the IV is not in the manifest.

ivSource

HlsIvSource

False

For use with encryptionType. The IV (Initialization Vector) is a 128-bit number used in conjunction with the key for encrypting blocks. If this setting is "followsSegmentNumber", it will cause the IV to change every segment (to match the segment number). If this is set to "explicit", you must enter a constantIv value.

keepSegments

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Applies only if Mode field is LIVE. Specifies the number of media segments to retain in the destination directory. This number should be bigger than indexNSegments (Num segments). We recommend (value = (2 x indexNsegments) + 1). If this "keep segments" number is too low, the following might happen: the player is still reading a media manifest file that lists this segment, but that segment has been removed from the destination directory (as directed by indexNSegments). This situation would result in a 404 HTTP error on the player.

keyFormat

string

False

The value specifies how the key is represented in the resource identified by the URI. If parameter is absent, an implicit value of "identity" is used. A reverse DNS string can also be given.

keyFormatVersions

False

Either a single positive integer version value or a slash delimited list of version values (1/2/3).

keyProviderSettings

KeyProviderSettings

False

The key provider settings.

minSegmentLength

integer

Minimum: 0

False

When set, minimumSegmentLength is enforced by looking ahead and back within the specified range for a nearby avail and extending the segment size if needed.

mode

HlsMode

False

If "vod", all segments are indexed and kept permanently in the destination and manifest. If "live", only the number segments specified in keepSegments and indexNSegments are kept; newer segments replace older segments, which may prevent players from rewinding all the way to the beginning of the event. VOD mode uses HLS EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE of EVENT while the channel is running, converting it to a "VOD" type manifest on completion of the stream.

outputSelection

HlsOutputSelection

False

MANIFESTS_AND_SEGMENTS: Generates manifests (master manifest, if applicable, and media manifests) for this output group. VARIANT_MANIFESTS_AND_SEGMENTS: Generates media manifests for this output group, but not a master manifest. SEGMENTS_ONLY: Does not generate any manifests for this output group.

programDateTime

HlsProgramDateTime

False

Includes or excludes EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME tag in .m3u8 manifest files. The value is calculated as follows: either the program date and time are initialized using the input timecode source, or the time is initialized using the input timecode source and the date is initialized using the timestampOffset.

programDateTimeClock

HlsProgramDateTimeClock

False

Specifies the algorithm used to drive the HLS EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME clock. Options include: INITIALIZE_FROM_OUTPUT_TIMECODE: The PDT clock is initialized as a function of the first output timecode, then incremented by the EXTINF duration of each encoded segment. SYSTEM_CLOCK: The PDT clock is initialized as a function of the UTC wall clock, then incremented by the EXTINF duration of each encoded segment. If the PDT clock diverges from the wall clock by more than 500ms, it is resynchronized to the wall clock.

programDateTimePeriod

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 3600

False

Period of insertion of EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME entry, in seconds.

redundantManifest

HlsRedundantManifest

False

ENABLED: The master manifest (.m3u8 file) for each pipeline includes information about both pipelines: first its own media files, then the media files of the other pipeline. This feature allows playout device that support stale manifest detection to switch from one manifest to the other, when the current manifest seems to be stale. There are still two destinations and two master manifests, but both master manifests reference the media files from both pipelines. DISABLED: The master manifest (.m3u8 file) for each pipeline includes information about its own pipeline only. For an HLS output group with MediaPackage as the destination, the DISABLED behavior is always followed. MediaPackage regenerates the manifests it serves to players so a redundant manifest from MediaLive is irrelevant.

segmentationMode

HlsSegmentationMode

False

useInputSegmentation has been deprecated. The configured segment size is always used.

segmentLength

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Length of MPEG-2 Transport Stream segments to create (in seconds). Note that segments will end on the next keyframe after this number of seconds, so actual segment length may be longer.

segmentsPerSubdirectory

integer

Minimum: 1

False

Number of segments to write to a subdirectory before starting a new one. directoryStructure must be subdirectoryPerStream for this setting to have an effect.

streamInfResolution

tsFileMode

HlsTsFileMode

False

SEGMENTED_FILES: Emit the program as segments - multiple .ts media files. SINGLE_FILE: Applies only if Mode field is VOD. Emit the program as a single .ts media file. The media manifest includes #EXT-X-BYTERANGE tags to index segments for playback. A typical use for this value is when sending the output to AWS Elemental MediaConvert, which can accept only a single media file. Playback while the channel is running is not guaranteed due to HTTP server caching.

segmentationStyle

M2tsSegmentationStyle

False

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of "resetCadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of $segmentationTime seconds. When a segmentation style of "maintainCadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentationTime seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.

Optionally specify a noise reduction filter, which can improve quality of compressed content. If you do not choose a filter, no filter will be applied. TEMPORAL: This filter is useful for both source content that is noisy (when it has excessive digital artifacts) and source content that is clean. When the content is noisy, the filter cleans up the source content before the encoding phase, with these two effects: First, it improves the output video quality because the content has been cleaned up. Secondly, it decreases the bandwidth because MediaLive does not waste bits on encoding noise. When the content is reasonably clean, the filter tends to decrease the bitrate.

VideoBlackFailoverSettings

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
blackDetectThreshold

number

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 1

False

A value used in calculating the threshold below which MediaLive considers a pixel to be 'black'. For the input to be considered black, every pixel in a frame must be below this threshold. The threshold is calculated as a percentage (expressed as a decimal) of white. Therefore .1 means 10% white (or 90% black). Note how the formula works for any color depth. For example, if you set this field to 0.1 in 10-bit color depth: (1023*0.1=102.3), which means a pixel value of 102 or less is 'black'. If you set this field to .1 in an 8-bit color depth: (255*0.1=25.5), which means a pixel value of 25 or less is 'black'. The range is 0.0 to 1.0, with any number of decimal places.

Output video height, in pixels. Must be an even number. For most codecs, you can leave this field and width blank in order to use the height and width (resolution) from the source. Note, however, that leaving blank is not recommended. For the Frame Capture codec, height and width are required.

name

string

True

The name of this VideoDescription. Outputs will use this name to uniquely identify this Description. Description names should be unique within this Live Event.

respondToAfd

VideoDescriptionRespondToAfd

False

Indicates how MediaLive will respond to the AFD values that might be in the input video. If you do not know what AFD signaling is, or if your downstream system has not given you guidance, choose PASSTHROUGH. RESPOND: MediaLive clips the input video using a formula that uses the AFD values (configured in afdSignaling ), the input display aspect ratio, and the output display aspect ratio. MediaLive also includes the AFD values in the output, unless the codec for this encode is FRAME_CAPTURE. PASSTHROUGH: MediaLive ignores the AFD values and does not clip the video. But MediaLive does include the values in the output. NONE: MediaLive does not clip the input video and does not include the AFD values in the output

scalingBehavior

VideoDescriptionScalingBehavior

False

STRETCH_TO_OUTPUT configures the output position to stretch the video to the specified output resolution (height and width). This option will override any position value. DEFAULT may insert black boxes (pillar boxes or letter boxes) around the video to provide the specified output resolution.

sharpness

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

False

Changes the strength of the anti-alias filter used for scaling. 0 is the softest setting, 100 is the sharpest. A setting of 50 is recommended for most content.

width

integer

False

Output video width, in pixels. Must be an even number. For most codecs, you can leave this field and height blank in order to use the height and width (resolution) from the source. Note, however, that leaving blank is not recommended. For the Frame Capture codec, height and width are required.

VideoSelector

Specifies a particular video stream within an input source. An input may have only a single video selector.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
colorSpace

VideoSelectorColorSpace

False

Specifies the color space of an input. This setting works in tandem with colorSpaceUsage and a video description's colorSpaceSettingsChoice to determine if any conversion will be performed.

False

Color space settings

colorSpaceUsage

VideoSelectorColorSpaceUsage

False

Applies only if colorSpace is a value other than follow. This field controls how the value in the colorSpace field will be used. fallback means that when the input does include color space data, that data will be used, but when the input has no color space data, the value in colorSpace will be used. Choose fallback if your input is sometimes missing color space data, but when it does have color space data, that data is correct. force means to always use the value in colorSpace. Choose force if your input usually has no color space data or might have unreliable color space data.
