inputType

The input type is an immutable field. It defines whether the channel allows CMAF ingest, HLS ingest, or server-side multiview output. Multiview channels receive no ingest of their own. If unprovided, the value defaults to HLS.

The allowed values are:

  • HLS - The HLS streaming specification (which defines M3U8 manifests and TS segments).

  • CMAF - The DASH-IF CMAF Ingest specification (which defines CMAF segments with optional DASH manifests).

  • MULTIVIEW – Server-side multiview. The channel receives no ingest of its own. Instead, it composites video from the source channels in its MultiviewConfiguration into a single tiled output stream.
