Handling of metadata when converting

When you set up to convert the color space, you can set up to include or omit the color space metadata.

  • Include color space metadata. MediaLive will convert the color space metadata to accurately describe the new color space.

  • Omit the color space metadata. You might want to remove the color space metadata because the downstream system can't handle it properly.

    When MediaLive removes the metadata, the source still has a color space but it doesn't have information that identifies the color space. Removing the metadata doesn't necessarily degrade the color. Removing it might only mean that the downstream player can't implement enhancements to make the color even richer.
