Inserting SCTE 35 messages using the schedule

Use the channel schedule to insert SCTE 35 messages into the outptus of a MediaLive CHANNEL. For example, you can add an action in the channel schedule to insert a splice insert in the running channel at a specific time.

The main use case for this feature is to add SCTE 35 messages, when the source content doesn't already include SCTE 35 messages.

To insert SCTE 35 messages in the content, create actions in the schedule. For detailed information, see Creating an AWS Elemental MediaLive schedule.

After MediaLive inserts the SCTE 35 message in the channel, MediaLive processes the message in the same way as it would process SCTE 35 messages that were in the input. You define this processing when you create the channel and configure these options:

For a summary of these options, see Scope of processing by feature and Supported features by output type.
