Step D: Showing and hiding the motion overlay - AWS Elemental Live

Step D: Showing and hiding the motion overlay

If you have configured the motion overlay for REST control, start the event , then enter REST API commands to show and hide the motion overlay.

If you have configured the motion overlay for authoring system control or SCTE 35 control, Elemental Live automatically shows and hides the motion overlay. You don't have to intervene. You can stop reading this section.

To show or hide the motion overlay on a running event

  1. Enter a POST command as follows:

    POST http://<Live IP Address>/live_events/<live event id>/motion_image_inserter

  2. In the body of the request, include one motion_image_inserter element that contains only the active tag. Set the active to true to show the motion overlay, or set it to false to hide the motion overlay. See the examples after this procedure.

  3. The response repeats back the data that you posted with <ID> tags for motion_image_inserter and motion_image_inserter_input.
