Apple HLS output
Apple HLS output supports both passthrough of the SCTE-35 messages and manifest decoration. In fact, with HLS outputs, passthrough and manifest decoration are either both enabled or both disabled. Therefore, workable options are:
SCTE-35 passthrough | Insertion of SCTE-35 messages | Manifest decoration | Blanking and blackout | Effect |
---|---|---|---|---|
Enabled | Yes or No | Enabled | Yes or No | Turns on passthrough of SCTE-35 messages and manifest decoration. In this case, you could also insert more SCTE-35 message if desired. You could also implement blanking and blackout. |
Disabled | No | Disabled | No |
Turns off passthrough in order to remove SCTE-35 messages from the video stream. Turns off manifest decoration. Do not insert extra messages: they simply get stripped from the output. Do not implement blanking or blackout. Choose this option only if, in a downstream system, you do not want to replace video that was originally marked by cues. |
