/AWS1/CL_MDCM2TSSETTINGS

MPEG-2 TS container settings. These apply to outputs in a File output group when the output's container is MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS). In these assets, data is organized by the program map table (PMT). Each transport stream program contains subsets of data, including audio, video, and metadata. Each of these subsets of data has a numerical label called a packet identifier (PID). Each transport stream program corresponds to one MediaConvert output. The PMT lists the types of data in a program along with their PID. Downstream systems and players use the program map table to look up the PID for each type of data it accesses and then uses the PIDs to locate specific data within the asset.

CONSTRUCTOR

IMPORTING

Optional arguments:

iv_audiobuffermodel TYPE /AWS1/MDCM2TSAUDIOBUFFERMODEL /AWS1/MDCM2TSAUDIOBUFFERMODEL

Selects between the DVB and ATSC buffer models for Dolby Digital audio.

iv_audioduration TYPE /AWS1/MDCM2TSAUDIODURATION /AWS1/MDCM2TSAUDIODURATION

Specify this setting only when your output will be consumed by a downstream repackaging workflow that is sensitive to very small duration differences between video and audio. For this situation, choose Match video duration. In all other cases, keep the default value, Default codec duration. When you choose Match video duration, MediaConvert pads the output audio streams with silence or trims them to ensure that the total duration of each audio stream is at least as long as the total duration of the video stream. After padding or trimming, the audio stream duration is no more than one frame longer than the video stream. MediaConvert applies audio padding or trimming only to the end of the last segment of the output. For unsegmented outputs, MediaConvert adds padding only to the end of the file. When you keep the default value, any minor discrepancies between audio and video duration will depend on your output audio codec.

iv_audioframesperpes TYPE /AWS1/MDC__INTEGERMIN0MAX21400 /AWS1/MDC__INTEGERMIN0MAX21400

The number of audio frames to insert for each PES packet.

iv_ptsoffsetmode TYPE /AWS1/MDCTSPTSOFFSET /AWS1/MDCTSPTSOFFSET

Specify the initial presentation timestamp (PTS) offset for your transport stream output. To let MediaConvert automatically determine the initial PTS offset: Keep the default value, Auto.

Inserts segmentation markers at each segmentation_time period. rai_segstart sets the Random Access Indicator bit in the adaptation field. rai_adapt sets the RAI bit and adds the current timecode in the private data bytes. psi_segstart inserts PAT and PMT tables at the start of segments. ebp adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field as per OpenCable specification OC-SP-EBP-I01-130118. ebp_legacy adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field using a legacy proprietary format.

iv_segmentationstyle TYPE /AWS1/MDCM2TSSEGMENTATIONSTYLE /AWS1/MDCM2TSSEGMENTATIONSTYLE

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of "reset_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of of $segmentation_time seconds. When a segmentation style of "maintain_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentation_time seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.

Specify the packet identifier (PID) of the elementary video stream in the transport stream.

HAS_SCTE35PID() Determine if SCTE35PID has a value

Scte35Source

For SCTE-35 markers from your input-- Choose Passthrough if you want SCTE-35 markers that appear in your input to also appear in this output. Choose None if you don't want SCTE-35 markers in this output. For SCTE-35 markers from an ESAM XML document-- Choose None. Also provide the ESAM XML as a string in the setting Signal processing notification XML. Also enable ESAM SCTE-35 (include the property scte35Esam).

Accessible with the following methods

Method Description
GET_SCTE35SOURCE() Getter for SCTE35SOURCE, with configurable default
ASK_SCTE35SOURCE() Getter for SCTE35SOURCE w/ exceptions if field has no value
HAS_SCTE35SOURCE() Determine if SCTE35SOURCE has a value

SegmentationMarkers

Inserts segmentation markers at each segmentation_time period. rai_segstart sets the Random Access Indicator bit in the adaptation field. rai_adapt sets the RAI bit and adds the current timecode in the private data bytes. psi_segstart inserts PAT and PMT tables at the start of segments. ebp adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field as per OpenCable specification OC-SP-EBP-I01-130118. ebp_legacy adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field using a legacy proprietary format.

GET_SEGMENTATIONMARKERS() Getter for SEGMENTATIONMARKERS, with configurable default
ASK_SEGMENTATIONMARKERS() Getter for SEGMENTATIONMARKERS w/ exceptions if field has no
HAS_SEGMENTATIONMARKERS() Determine if SEGMENTATIONMARKERS has a value

SegmentationStyle

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of "reset_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of of $segmentation_time seconds. When a segmentation style of "maintain_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentation_time seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.
