Transition - AWS Elemental MediaTailor

Transition

Program transition configuration.

Contents

RelativePosition

The position where this program will be inserted relative to the RelativePosition.

Type: String

Valid Values: BEFORE_PROGRAM | AFTER_PROGRAM

Required: Yes

Type

Defines when the program plays in the schedule. You can set the value to ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE.

ABSOLUTE - The program plays at a specific wall clock time. This setting can only be used for channels using the LINEAR PlaybackMode.

Note the following considerations when using ABSOLUTE transitions:

If the preceding program in the schedule has a duration that extends past the wall clock time, MediaTailor truncates the preceding program on a common segment boundary.

If there are gaps in playback, MediaTailor plays the FillerSlate you configured for your linear channel.

RELATIVE - The program is inserted into the schedule either before or after a program that you specify via RelativePosition.

Type: String

Required: Yes

DurationMillis

The duration of the live program in seconds.

Type: Long

Required: No

RelativeProgram

The name of the program that this program will be inserted next to, as defined by RelativePosition.

Type: String

Required: No

ScheduledStartTimeMillis

The date and time that the program is scheduled to start, in epoch milliseconds.
