The schedule is a list of actions that a channel performs as it is running. You can use actions to do the following:
-
Switch the input that the running channel is ingesting.
-
Prepare an input that is associated with an immediate input switch, in order to reduce the delay that occurs when MediaLive performs the switch.
-
Insert a static image overlay (an image layered over the underlying video) in every output in every output group. This action is called global image overlay.
-
Insert a static image overlay into the running channel, only in specific outputs in specific output groups. The action is called per-outputs image overlay.
-
Insert a motion graphics overlay into the running channel.
-
Insert SCTE 35 messages into the running channel.
-
Insert ID3 metadata into the running channel.
-
Insert ID3 segment tags into the running channel.
-
Pause one or both of the pipelines in the channel.
-
Unpause one or both of the pipelines in the channel.
