Channel Details

the details section shows the following information parameter description type the type of channel will impact on the information shown in the details tab failover processing cluster the name of the cluster that is used to process the stream preferred sources the sources that were configured as preferred sources the channel will play the preferred source by default if the preferred source becomes unavailable, it will failover to a secondary source (if one exists) events configuration profile the events configuration profile that was assigned to this channel events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger content analysis shows if the content analysis is enabled/disabled content analysis shows errors detected in the audio and video content itself automatically switch to preferred source shows if the automatically switch to preferred source is enabled/disabled if enabled, the stream will switch automatically to the configured preferred source failover mode specifies the configured falover mode options include stream switch – zen master treats the streams as different and does not try to merge them if packets are missing from one stream, zen master will switch to the alternate stream if the payload is not binary identical it will fall back to stream switch smpte 2022 7 hitless merge if the sources use rtp, and the rtp headers were maintained, zixi can use the smpte 2022 7 to compare and merge the two streams this option uses the sequence and the timestamp in the packets to compare which packets are missing, providing optimal results content hitless merge if the sources do not have rtp headers, zixi will merge the streams using the mpeg ts payload content itself this method uses zixi's patented dna like sequencing algorithm to fill in the missing packets zero bitrate/offline detection window if the failover mode was configured as stream switch , this setting specifies the time frame with zero bitrate or offline state after which the system will perform the failoverbox external id specifies the external id that was configured this is the id that is used when integrating zen master with an external esni/esam server secondary sources the sources that were configured as secondary sources if the preferred source becomes unavailable, it will failover to a secondary source (if one exists) if there is no secondary sources of it becomes unavailable (while the preferred stream is still unavailable), zen master will failover to the slate slate source the sources that were configured as slate sources if there is no secondary sources of it becomes unavailable (while the preferred stream is still unavailable), zen master will failover to the slate in live events, there are some stages of the event, where the slate is the source that will be streamed for example, in pre live the live event is configured to select the slate source adaptive processing cluster the name of the cluster that is used to process the stream events configuration profile the events configuration profile that was assigned to this channel events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger log hls ad markers shows if the log hls ad markers is enabled/disabled if enabled, the system logs hls ad markers for this channel mode existing sources – uses existing sources transcoding – transcodes the stream protocols the stream protocol timecode (ext x program date time) source specifies the preference for inserting a timecode options are none , system time (default) or sei timecode segment on scte 35 shows if the segment on scte 35 is enabled/disabled if enabled, scte 35 markers found in the source input will be used to segment the stream and the #ext x cue in/#ext x cue out tags will be added to the manifest drop first segment shows if the drop first segment is enabled/disabled for hls workflows, this can help ensure smoother playback by eliminating non keyframe segments that might cause decoding issues ascending playlist order shows if the ascending playlist order is enabled/disabled if enabled, this option orders the master playlist in ascending order by bitrate active broadcaster the name of the broadcaster where the source is located aws mediaconnect flow region select from the drop down list the aws region that you would like to use for this flow mediaconnect source the source that is assigned to this channel aws mediaconnect flow the name of the aws mediaconnect flow click the link to open the mediaconnect flow in the aws console events configuration profile the events configuration profile that was assigned to this channel events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger aws medialive mediaconnect source the source that is assigned to this channel medialive channel the name of the aws mediaconnect flow click the link to open the mediaconnect flow in the aws console events configuration profile the events configuration profile that was assigned to this channel events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger pass through processing cluster the name of the cluster that is used to process the stream target broadcasters the broadcaster that has been defined for the channel the following options are possible specific target a specific target has been selected during configuration any any target can be used primary broadcasters only only targets that have been defined as primary can be used backup broadcasters only only targets that have been defined as backup can be used primary sources the list of sources that have been defined as primary sources events configuration profile the events configuration profile that was assigned to this channel events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger transcoded processing cluster the name of the cluster that is used to process the stream events configuration profile the events configuration profile that was assigned to this channel events profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of events are logged and what results they trigger preserve closed captions shows if the preserve closed caption is enabled/disabled this feature preserves the closed captions from the source log hls ad markers shows if the log hls ad markers is enabled/disabled if enabled, the system logs hls ad markers for this channel ignore transcode thresholds shows if the ignore transcode thresholds is enabled/disabled if enabled, the system will override the transcode thresholds for your ingest cluster (i e to allow use of full cpu/gpu and memory capacity) mode existing sources – uses existing sources transcoding – transcodes the stream protocols the stream protocol encoder the encoder used for transcoding (decode and reencode processes) timecode (ext x program date time) source specifies the preference for inserting a timecode options are none , system time (default) or sei timecode segment on scte 35 shows if the segment on scte 35 is enabled/disabled if enabled, scte 35 markers found in the source input will be used to segment the stream and the #ext x cue in/#ext x cue out tags will be added to the manifest drop first segment shows if the drop first segment is enabled/disabled for hls workflows, this can help ensure smoother playback by eliminating non keyframe segments that might cause decoding issues ascending playlist order shows if the ascending playlist order is enabled/disabled if enabled, this option orders the master playlist in ascending order by bitrate active broadcaster the broadcaster that has been assigned as the target broadcaster source the source that is assigned to this channel
