Scenario B – Metadata can be corrected with force

During assessment of the input, you might have determined the following:

• The content is in one color space, and that is a supported color space.

• The color space metadata is inaccurate. It could be any combination of inaccurate, missing, unknown, or unsupported (inaccurately marked as a color space that MediaLive doesn't support).

Note that this is the scenario that always applies if the input is from an AWS Elemental Link device.

You have this option for handling the metadata in the output:

Correct the metadata

You can correct the metadata. Follow the procedure in Step 3: Set up inputs to correct metadata, and set the key fields as follows:

• Color space field – Set to the color space that has unacceptable metadata.

• Color space usage field – Set to FORCE

During processing, MediaLive will create metadata of the specified color space for all missing, unmarked, and unknown metadata. It will also change all existing metadata to the specified color space. (It will force the metadata.)

After ingest, all the content in the input will be consistently marked as one color space.
