Request Syntax


POST /UpdateChannel HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
   "arn": "string",
   "authorized": boolean,
   "latencyMode": "string",
   "name": "string",
   "recordingConfigurationArn": "string",
   "type": "string"
}

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

arn

ARN of the channel to be updated.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^arn:aws:[is]vs:[a-z0-9-]+:[0-9]+:channel/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$

Required: Yes

authorized

Whether the channel is private (enabled for playback authorization).

Type: Boolean

Required: No

latencyMode

Channel latency mode. Use NORMAL to broadcast and deliver live video up to Full HD. Use LOW for near-real-time interaction with viewers. (Note: In the Amazon IVS console, LOW and NORMAL correspond to Ultra-low and Standard, respectively.)

Type: String

Valid Values: NORMAL | LOW

Required: No

name

Channel name.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9-_]*$

Required: No

recordingConfigurationArn

Recording-configuration ARN. If this is set to an empty string, recording is disabled. A value other than an empty string indicates that recording is enabled

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^$|^arn:aws:ivs:[a-z0-9-]+:[0-9]+:recording-configuration/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$

Required: No

type

Channel type, which determines the allowable resolution and bitrate. If you exceed the allowable resolution or bitrate, the stream probably will disconnect immediately. Valid values:

STANDARD: Video is transcoded: multiple qualities are generated from the original input, to automatically give viewers the best experience for their devices and network conditions. Transcoding allows higher playback quality across a range of download speeds. Resolution can be up to 1080p and bitrate can be up to 8.5 Mbps. Audio is transcoded only for renditions 360p and below; above that, audio is passed through. This is the default.
BASIC: Video is transmuxed: Amazon IVS delivers the original input to viewers. The viewer’s video-quality choice is limited to the original input. Resolution can be up to 1080p and bitrate can be up to 1.5 Mbps for 480p and up to 3.5 Mbps for resolutions between 480p and 1080p.

Type: String

Valid Values: BASIC | STANDARD

Required: No
