PID remapping examples

The following examples show the processors member of a router output as JSON. You can use them in a CreateRouterOutput or UpdateRouterOutput request with the AWS CLI or the MediaConnect API.

In the MediaConnect console, you can create the same rules under Rules in the Processors section. For more information, see Configuring PID remapping.

Keep the same PIDs across route changes

This example moves every stream to the auto map range.

"processors": {
  "singleProgramTransportStreamPidMap": {
    "rules": [],
    "defaultAction": "mapAuto"
  }
}

Keep English and Spanish audio and metadata

This example moves the first video stream to PID 256, moves the English and Spanish audio and metadata streams to the auto map range, and drops the rest.

"processors": {
  "singleProgramTransportStreamPidMap": {
    "rules": [
      { "matchExpression": "index(video, 0)", "action": "mapPid(256)" },
      { "matchExpression": "type(audio) && language(eng, spa)", "action": "mapAuto" },
      { "matchExpression": "type(metadata) && language(eng, spa)", "action": "mapAuto" }
    ],
    "defaultAction": "drop"
  }
}

Map streams to fixed PID ranges

This example moves the first video stream to PID 256, audio streams to PIDs 257–271, and metadata streams to PIDs 272–287, and drops the rest.

"processors": {
  "singleProgramTransportStreamPidMap": {
    "rules": [
      { "matchExpression": "index(video, 0)", "action": "mapPid(256)" },
      { "matchExpression": "type(audio)", "action": "mapPidRange(257, 271)" },
      { "matchExpression": "type(metadata)", "action": "mapPidRange(272, 287)" }
    ],
    "defaultAction": "drop"
  }
}
