MediaTailor domain variables for multiple content sources

AWS Elemental MediaTailor dynamic domain variables allow you to use multiple domains, such as the my-ads-server.com part of the URL http://my-ads-server.com, with the player parameters in your configuration. This makes it possible for you to use more than one content source or ad decision server (ADS) in a single configuration.

You can use domain variables with any parameter that contains a URI:

  • AdDecisionServerUrl

  • AdSegmentUrlPrefix

  • ContentSegmentUrlPrefix

  • LivePreroll.AdDecisionServerUrl

  • VideoContentSourceUrl

Domain variables are used alongside configuration aliases to perform dynamic variable replacement. Configuration aliases map a set of aliases and values to the player parameters that are used for dynamic domain configuration. For setup procedures, see Creating and using configuration aliases with MediaTailor. For detailed reference information, see MediaTailor configuration aliases overview.
