SCTE-35 message options in AWS Elemental MediaPackage

This section describes the options that AWS Elemental MediaPackage offers for configuring how SCTE-35 messages are handled in live TS and CMAF outputs.

SCTE-35 messages accompany video in your source content. These messages signal where MediaPackage should insert ad markers when it packages the content for output. By default, MediaPackage inserts markers for the following message types in the source content:

  • Splice insert

  • Break

  • Provider advertisement

  • Distributor advertisement

  • Provider placement opportunity

  • Distributor placement opportunity

  • Provider overlay placement opportunity

  • Distributor overlay placement opportunity

  • Program

When these commands are present, MediaPackage inserts corresponding ad markers in the output manifests:

  • For daterange in HLS manifests on TS and CMAF origin endpoints, MediaPackage inserts EXT-X-DATERANGE tags.

  • For SCTE-35 enhanced on TS and CMAF origin endpoints, MediaPackage inserts EXT-X-CUE-OUT, EXT-X-CUE-IN, and related CUE tags.

  • For DASH manifests on CMAF origin endpoints, MediaPackage inserts EventStream tags to create multiple periods, when you have multi-period manifests enabled.

The following sections describe how you can modify MediaPackage SCTE-35 message handling behavior.
