SCTE-35 ad marker EXT-X-DATERANGE - AWS Elemental Live

SCTE-35 ad marker EXT-X-DATERANGE

This section is an addendum to SCTE-35 and SCTE-104 message processing in Elemental Live. Elemental Live supports the EXT-X-DATERANGE ad marker style in the manifest created for an HLS output.

To select this marker, do the following:

  • In the event, go to Output Group > Apple HLS > Advanced > Ad Markers and select EXT-X-DATERANGE.

The structure and contents of the line are as described in HTTP Live Streaming, draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-23 (Version 23).

This marker style applies when the SCTE-35 messages are time_signal or splice_insert, and when the messages are passed through from the input or inserted at runtime using the REST API.

Example

This example shows an ad avail with an ID of 999 and a planned duration of 30 seconds. The first EXT-X-DATERANGE, for the start of the ad avail, includes a START-DATE. The second EXT-X-DATERANGE includes an END-DATE and a time that is 30.03 seconds later.

Note

The DURATION, PLANNED-DURATION and END-DATE tags are optional. If they are not present in the input or not specified in the REST API command, then these tags are omitted from the manifest.
