Color space handling in AWS Elemental MediaLive

All video belongs to a specific color space. The color space defines the range of color for the video. Video can include color space metadata. This metadata provides information about the color space. When the color space metadata is missing, the video still has a color space, but it is impossible for a video processor such as MediaLive to manipulate the color space.

You can control how MediaLive takes the color space and color space metadata in a video source and manipulates it in the video output. You can set up each output video encode to convert or pass through the color space, and to include or omit the color space metadata.
