# AWS::MediaPackageV2::Channel InputSwitchConfiguration
<a name="aws-properties-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration"></a>

The configuration for input switching based on the media quality confidence score (MQCS) as provided from AWS Elemental MediaLive.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-properties-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-properties-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "[MQCSInputSwitching](#cfn-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-mqcsinputswitching)" : Boolean,
  "[PreferredInput](#cfn-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-preferredinput)" : Integer
}
```

### YAML
<a name="aws-properties-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-syntax.yaml"></a>

```
  [MQCSInputSwitching](#cfn-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-mqcsinputswitching): Boolean
  [PreferredInput](#cfn-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-preferredinput): Integer
```

## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-properties"></a>

`MQCSInputSwitching`  <a name="cfn-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-mqcsinputswitching"></a>
When true, AWS Elemental MediaPackage performs input switching based on the MQCS. Default is false. This setting is valid only when `InputType` is `CMAF`.  
*Required*: No  
*Type*: Boolean  
*Update requires*: [No interruption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-no-interrupt)

`PreferredInput`  <a name="cfn-mediapackagev2-channel-inputswitchconfiguration-preferredinput"></a>
For CMAF inputs, indicates which input MediaPackage should prefer when both inputs have equal MQCS scores. Select `1` to prefer the first ingest endpoint, or `2` to prefer the second ingest endpoint. If you don't specify a preferred input, MediaPackage uses its default switching behavior when MQCS scores are equal.  
*Required*: No  
*Type*: Integer  
*Minimum*: `1`  
*Maximum*: `2`  
*Update requires*: [No interruption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-no-interrupt)
