Input requirements

MediaLive can work with the supported color space in all supported types of input with the following notes.

Elemental Link input

MediaLive can't read the color space metadata in a source from an AWS Elemental Link device. The workaround when you set up the input is to specify the color space that applies, as described in Configuring the inputs.

Source when converting to Dolby Vision 8.1

  • The video source must be HD or 4K resolution. In other words, the source must be 1080p or higher.

  • The video source must be HDR10. If MediaLive encounters a portion of non-HDR10 content, it passes through the color space and color space metadata for that portion.

  • The video source can't be a file. This means that the source can't be a VOD asset in an MP4 file or in a transport stream file.

These constraints are stipulated by Dolby Vision 8.1, and relate to the minimal video quality required to produce Dolby Vision 8.1 outputs that meet the Dolby Vision 8.1 standard.
