(structure)

Description of audio output

AudioNormalizationSettings -> (structure)

Advanced audio normalization settings. Ignore these settings unless you need to comply with a loudness standard.

Algorithm -> (string)

Choose one of the following audio normalization algorithms: ITU-R BS.1770-1: Ungated loudness. A measurement of ungated average loudness for an entire piece of content, suitable for measurement of short-form content under ATSC recommendation A/85. Supports up to 5.1 audio channels. ITU-R BS.1770-2: Gated loudness. A measurement of gated average loudness compliant with the requirements of EBU-R128. Supports up to 5.1 audio channels. ITU-R BS.1770-3: Modified peak. The same loudness measurement algorithm as 1770-2, with an updated true peak measurement. ITU-R BS.1770-4: Higher channel count. Allows for more audio channels than the other algorithms, including configurations such as 7.1.

AlgorithmControl -> (string)

When enabled the output audio is corrected using the chosen algorithm. If disabled, the audio will be measured but not adjusted.

CorrectionGateLevel -> (integer)

Content measuring above this level will be corrected to the target level. Content measuring below this level will not be corrected.

LoudnessLogging -> (string)

If set to LOG, log each output’s audio track loudness to a CSV file.

PeakCalculation -> (string)

If set to TRUE_PEAK, calculate and log the TruePeak for each output’s audio track loudness.

TargetLkfs -> (double)

When you use Audio normalization (AudioNormalizationSettings), optionally use this setting to specify a target loudness. If you don’t specify a value here, the encoder chooses a value for you, based on the algorithm that you choose for Algorithm (algorithm). If you choose algorithm 1770-1, the encoder will choose -24 LKFS; otherwise, the encoder will choose -23 LKFS.

AudioSourceName -> (string)

Specifies which audio data to use from each input. In the simplest case, specify an “Audio Selector”:#inputs-audio_selector by name based on its order within each input. For example if you specify “Audio Selector 3”, then the third audio selector will be used from each input. If an input does not have an “Audio Selector 3”, then the audio selector marked as “default” in that input will be used. If there is no audio selector marked as “default”, silence will be inserted for the duration of that input. Alternatively, an “Audio Selector Group”:#inputs-audio_selector_group name may be specified, with similar default/silence behavior. If no audio_source_name is specified, then “Audio Selector 1” will be chosen automatically.

AudioType -> (integer)

Applies only if Follow Input Audio Type is unchecked (false). A number between 0 and 255. The following are defined in ISO-IEC 13818-1: 0 = Undefined, 1 = Clean Effects, 2 = Hearing Impaired, 3 = Visually Impaired Commentary, 4-255 = Reserved.

AudioTypeControl -> (string)

When set to FOLLOW_INPUT, if the input contains an ISO 639 audio_type, then that value is passed through to the output. If the input contains no ISO 639 audio_type, the value in Audio Type is included in the output. Otherwise the value in Audio Type is included in the output. Note that this field and audioType are both ignored if audioDescriptionBroadcasterMix is set to BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD.

CodecSettings -> (structure)

Audio codec settings (CodecSettings) under (AudioDescriptions) contains the group of settings related to audio encoding. The settings in this group vary depending on the value that you choose for Audio codec (Codec). For each codec enum that you choose, define the corresponding settings object. The following lists the codec enum, settings object pairs. * AAC, AacSettings * MP2, Mp2Settings * MP3, Mp3Settings * WAV, WavSettings * AIFF, AiffSettings * AC3, Ac3Settings * EAC3, Eac3Settings * EAC3_ATMOS, Eac3AtmosSettings * VORBIS, VorbisSettings * OPUS, OpusSettings

AacSettings -> (structure)

Required when you set (Codec) under (AudioDescriptions)>(CodecSettings) to the value AAC. The service accepts one of two mutually exclusive groups of AAC settings–VBR and CBR. To select one of these modes, set the value of Bitrate control mode (rateControlMode) to “VBR” or “CBR”. In VBR mode, you control the audio quality with the setting VBR quality (vbrQuality). In CBR mode, you use the setting Bitrate (bitrate). Defaults and valid values depend on the rate control mode.

AudioDescriptionBroadcasterMix -> (string)

Choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD when the input contains pre-mixed main audio + audio description (AD) as a stereo pair. The value for AudioType will be set to 3, which signals to downstream systems that this stream contains “broadcaster mixed AD”. Note that the input received by the encoder must contain pre-mixed audio; the encoder does not perform the mixing. When you choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD, the encoder ignores any values you provide in AudioType and FollowInputAudioType. Choose NORMAL when the input does not contain pre-mixed audio + audio description (AD). In this case, the encoder will use any values you provide for AudioType and FollowInputAudioType.

XPosition -> (integer)

Specifies the horizontal position of the caption relative to the left side of the output in pixels. A value of 10 would result in the captions starting 10 pixels from the left of the output. If no explicit x_position is provided, the horizontal caption position will be determined by the alignment parameter. This option is not valid for source captions that are STL, 608/embedded or teletext. These source settings are already pre-defined by the caption stream. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

YPosition -> (integer)

Specifies the vertical position of the caption relative to the top of the output in pixels. A value of 10 would result in the captions starting 10 pixels from the top of the output.

If no explicit x_position or y_position is provided, setting alignment to centered will place the captions at the bottom center of the output. Similarly, setting a left alignment will align captions to the bottom left of the output. If x and y positions are given in conjunction with the alignment parameter, the font will be justified (either left or centered) relative to those coordinates. This option is not valid for source captions that are STL, 608/embedded or teletext. These source settings are already pre-defined by the caption stream. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

BackgroundColor -> (string)

Specifies the color of the rectangle behind the captions. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

BackgroundOpacity -> (integer)

Specifies the opacity of the background rectangle. 255 is opaque; 0 is transparent. Leaving this parameter blank is equivalent to setting it to 0 (transparent). All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

FontColor -> (string)

Specifies the color of the burned-in captions. This option is not valid for source captions that are STL, 608/embedded or teletext. These source settings are already pre-defined by the caption stream. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

FontScript -> (string)

Provide the font script, using an ISO 15924 script code, if the LanguageCode is not sufficient for determining the script type. Where LanguageCode or CustomLanguageCode is sufficient, use “AUTOMATIC” or leave unset. This is used to help determine the appropriate font for rendering DVB-Sub captions.

FontSize -> (integer)

A positive integer indicates the exact font size in points. Set to 0 for automatic font size selection. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

OutlineColor -> (string)

Specifies font outline size in pixels. This option is not valid for source captions that are either 608/embedded or teletext. These source settings are already pre-defined by the caption stream. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

ShadowColor -> (string)

Specifies the color of the shadow cast by the captions. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

ShadowOpacity -> (integer)

Specifies the opacity of the shadow. 255 is opaque; 0 is transparent. Leaving this parameter blank is equivalent to setting it to 0 (transparent). All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

ShadowXOffset -> (integer)

Specifies the horizontal offset of the shadow relative to the captions in pixels. A value of -2 would result in a shadow offset 2 pixels to the left. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

Choose fixed grid to conform to the spacing specified in the captions file more accurately. Choose proportional to make the text easier to read if the captions are closed caption.

XPosition -> (integer)

Specifies the horizontal position of the caption relative to the left side of the output in pixels. A value of 10 would result in the captions starting 10 pixels from the left of the output. If no explicit x_position is provided, the horizontal caption position will be determined by the alignment parameter. This option is not valid for source captions that are STL, 608/embedded or teletext. These source settings are already pre-defined by the caption stream. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

YPosition -> (integer)

Specifies the vertical position of the caption relative to the top of the output in pixels. A value of 10 would result in the captions starting 10 pixels from the top of the output. If no explicit y_position is provided, the caption will be positioned towards the bottom of the output. This option is not valid for source captions that are STL, 608/embedded or teletext. These source settings are already pre-defined by the caption stream. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

Pass through style and position information from a TTML-like input source (TTML, SMPTE-TT) to the TTML output.

LanguageCode -> (string)

Specify the language of this captions output track. For most captions output formats, the encoder puts this language information in the output captions metadata. If your output captions format is DVB-Sub or Burn in, the encoder uses this language information to choose the font language for rendering the captions text.

LanguageDescription -> (string)

Specify a label for this set of output captions. For example, “English”, “Director commentary”, or “track_2”. For streaming outputs, MediaConvert passes this information into destination manifests for display on the end-viewer’s player device.

In these assets, data is organized by the program map table (PMT). Each transport stream program contains subsets of data, including audio, video, and metadata. Each of these subsets of data has a numerical label called a packet identifier (PID). Each transport stream program corresponds to one MediaConvert output. The PMT lists the types of data in a program along with their PID. Downstream systems and players use the program map table to look up the PID for each type of data it accesses and then uses the PIDs to locate specific data within the asset.

Selects between the DVB and ATSC buffer models for Dolby Digital audio.

AudioFramesPerPes -> (integer)

The number of audio frames to insert for each PES packet.

AudioPids -> (list)

If another EBP is going to come in within the specified time interval, the current EBP is not emitted, and the segment is “stretched” to the next marker. The lookahead value does not add latency to the system. The Live Event must be configured elsewhere to create sufficient latency to make the lookahead accurate.

NielsenId3 -> (string)

If INSERT, Nielsen inaudible tones for media tracking will be detected in the input audio and an equivalent ID3 tag will be inserted in the output.

NullPacketBitrate -> (double)

SegmentationMarkers -> (string)

Inserts segmentation markers at each segmentation_time period. rai_segstart sets the Random Access Indicator bit in the adaptation field. rai_adapt sets the RAI bit and adds the current timecode in the private data bytes. psi_segstart inserts PAT and PMT tables at the start of segments. ebp adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field as per OpenCable specification OC-SP-EBP-I01-130118. ebp_legacy adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field using a legacy proprietary format.

SegmentationStyle -> (string)

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of “reset_cadence” is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of of $segmentation_time seconds. When a segmentation style of “maintain_cadence” is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentation_time seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.

SegmentationTime -> (double)

Choose Don’t copy (NO_COPY) to exclude AFD signaling from the MXF wrapper. Choose Copy from video stream (COPY_FROM_VIDEO) to copy the AFD values from the video stream for this output to the MXF wrapper. Regardless of which option you choose, the AFD values remain in the video stream. Related settings: To set up your output to include or exclude AFD values, see AfdSignaling, under VideoDescription. On the console, find AFD signaling under the output’s video encoding settings.

VideoDescription -> (structure)

AdaptiveQuantization -> (string)

Adaptive quantization. Allows intra-frame quantizers to vary to improve visual quality.

FramerateControl -> (string)

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction. If you are creating your transcoding job specification as a JSON file without the console, use FramerateControl to specify which value the service uses for the frame rate for this output. Choose INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE if you want the service to use the frame rate from the input. Choose SPECIFIED if you want the service to use the frame rate you specify in the settings FramerateNumerator and FramerateDenominator.

FramerateConversionAlgorithm -> (string)

Optional. Specify how the transcoder performs framerate conversion. The default behavior is to use duplicate drop conversion.

FramerateDenominator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

FramerateNumerator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

GopSize -> (double)

Specify the GOP length (keyframe interval) in frames. With AV1, MediaConvert doesn’t support GOP length in seconds. This value must be greater than zero and preferably equal to 1 + ((numberBFrames + 1) * x), where x is an integer value.

QvbrQualityLevel -> (integer)

Required when you use QVBR rate control mode. That is, when you specify qvbrSettings within av1Settings. Specify the general target quality level for this output, from 1 to 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

QvbrQualityLevelFineTune -> (double)

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

RateControlMode -> (string)

H.264 Profile. High 4:2:2 and 10-bit profiles are only available with the AVC-I License.

DynamicSubGop -> (string)

Choose Adaptive to improve subjective video quality for high-motion content. This will cause the service to use fewer B-frames (which infer information based on other frames) for high-motion portions of the video and more B-frames for low-motion portions. The maximum number of B-frames is limited by the value you provide for the setting B frames between reference frames (numberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames).

EntropyEncoding -> (string)

Entropy encoding mode. Use CABAC (must be in Main or High profile) or CAVLC.

FieldEncoding -> (string)

Choosing FORCE_FIELD disables PAFF encoding for interlaced outputs.

FlickerAdaptiveQuantization -> (string)

Adjust quantization within each frame to reduce flicker or ‘pop’ on I-frames.

FramerateControl -> (string)

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction. If you are creating your transcoding job specification as a JSON file without the console, use FramerateControl to specify which value the service uses for the frame rate for this output.

FramerateDenominator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

FramerateNumerator -> (integer)

Frame rate numerator - frame rate is a fraction, e.g. 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps.

GopBReference -> (string)

If enable, use reference B frames for GOP structures that have B frames > 1.

GopClosedCadence -> (integer)

Use Interlace mode (InterlaceMode) to choose the scan line type for the output. * Top Field First (TOP_FIELD) and Bottom Field First (BOTTOM_FIELD) produce interlaced output with the entire output having the same field polarity (top or bottom first). * Follow, Default Top (FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD) and Follow, Default Bottom (FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD) use the same field polarity as the source. Therefore, behavior depends on the input scan type, as follows. - If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source (it will follow the source). The output could therefore be a mix of “top field first” and “bottom field first”. - If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with “top field first” or “bottom field first” polarity, depending on which of the Follow options you chose.

MaxBitrate -> (integer)

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000. Required when Rate control mode is QVBR.

MinIInterval -> (integer)

Enforces separation between repeated (cadence) I-frames and I-frames inserted by Scene Change Detection. If a scene change I-frame is within I-interval frames of a cadence I-frame, the GOP is shrunk and/or stretched to the scene change I-frame. GOP stretch requires enabling lookahead as well as setting I-interval. The normal cadence resumes for the next GOP. This setting is only used when Scene Change Detect is enabled. Note: Maximum GOP stretch = GOP size + Min-I-interval - 1

NumberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames -> (integer)

When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parDenominator is 33.

ParNumerator -> (integer)

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio (parControl) to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio.

MaxAverageBitrate -> (integer)

Use this setting only when Rate control mode is QVBR and Quality tuning level is Multi-pass HQ. For Max average bitrate values suited to the complexity of your input video, the service limits the average bitrate of the video part of this output to the value that you choose. That is, the total size of the video element is less than or equal to the value you set multiplied by the number of seconds of encoded output.

QvbrQualityLevel -> (integer)

Required when you use QVBR rate control mode. That is, when you specify qvbrSettings within h264Settings. Specify the general target quality level for this output, from 1 to 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

QvbrQualityLevelFineTune -> (double)

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

RateControlMode -> (string)

Use this setting to specify whether this output has a variable bitrate (VBR), constant bitrate (CBR) or quality-defined variable bitrate (QVBR).

DynamicSubGop -> (string)

Choose Adaptive to improve subjective video quality for high-motion content. This will cause the service to use fewer B-frames (which infer information based on other frames) for high-motion portions of the video and more B-frames for low-motion portions.

Choose Follow, Default Top (FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD) or Follow, Default Bottom (FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD) to create an interlaced output with the same field polarity as the source. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source (it will follow the source). The output could therefore be a mix of “top field first” and “bottom field first”. If the source is progressive, your output will be interlaced with “top field first” or “bottom field first” polarity, depending on which of the Follow options you chose. If you don’t choose a value, the service will default to Progressive (PROGRESSIVE).

HDR to SDR conversion uses Elemental tone mapping technology to approximate the outcome of manually regrading from HDR to SDR.

Contrast -> (integer)

Contrast level.

Hdr10Metadata -> (structure)

Use these settings when you convert to the HDR 10 color space. Specify the SMPTE ST 2086 Mastering Display Color Volume static metadata that you want signaled in the output.

Use Font Size (FontSize) to set the font size of any burned-in timecode. Valid values are 10, 16, 32, 48.

Position -> (string)

Use Position (Position) under under Timecode burn-in (TimecodeBurnIn) to specify the location the burned-in timecode on output video.

Prefix -> (string)

Use Prefix (Prefix) to place ASCII characters before any burned-in timecode. For example, a prefix of “EZ-” will result in the timecode “EZ-00:00:00:00”. Provide either the characters themselves or the ASCII code equivalents. The supported range of characters is 0x20 through 0x7e. This includes letters, numbers, and all special characters represented on a standard English keyboard.

Width -> (integer)

Use Width (Width) to define the video resolution width, in pixels, for this output. If you don’t provide a value here, the service will use the input width.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

For more information, see Working with AWS Elemental MediaConvert Output Presets in the AWS Elemental MediaConvert User Guide.

Output¶

Preset -> (structure)

A preset is a collection of preconfigured media conversion settings that you want MediaConvert to apply to the output during the conversion process.

Arn -> (string)

An identifier for this resource that is unique within all of AWS.

Category -> (string)

An optional category you create to organize your presets.

CreatedAt -> (timestamp)

The timestamp in epoch seconds for preset creation.

Description -> (string)

An optional description you create for each preset.

LastUpdated -> (timestamp)

The timestamp in epoch seconds when the preset was last updated.

Name -> (string)

A name you create for each preset. Each name must be unique within your account.

Settings -> (structure)

Settings for preset

AudioDescriptions -> (list)

(AudioDescriptions) contains groups of audio encoding settings organized by audio codec. Include one instance of (AudioDescriptions) per output. (AudioDescriptions) can contain multiple groups of encoding settings.

(structure)

Description of audio output

AudioNormalizationSettings -> (structure)

Advanced audio normalization settings. Ignore these settings unless you need to comply with a loudness standard.

Algorithm -> (string)

Choose one of the following audio normalization algorithms: ITU-R BS.1770-1: Ungated loudness. A measurement of ungated average loudness for an entire piece of content, suitable for measurement of short-form content under ATSC recommendation A/85. Supports up to 5.1 audio channels. ITU-R BS.1770-2: Gated loudness. A measurement of gated average loudness compliant with the requirements of EBU-R128. Supports up to 5.1 audio channels. ITU-R BS.1770-3: Modified peak. The same loudness measurement algorithm as 1770-2, with an updated true peak measurement. ITU-R BS.1770-4: Higher channel count. Allows for more audio channels than the other algorithms, including configurations such as 7.1.

AlgorithmControl -> (string)

When enabled the output audio is corrected using the chosen algorithm. If disabled, the audio will be measured but not adjusted.

CorrectionGateLevel -> (integer)

Content measuring above this level will be corrected to the target level. Content measuring below this level will not be corrected.

LoudnessLogging -> (string)

If set to LOG, log each output’s audio track loudness to a CSV file.

PeakCalculation -> (string)

If set to TRUE_PEAK, calculate and log the TruePeak for each output’s audio track loudness.

TargetLkfs -> (double)

When you use Audio normalization (AudioNormalizationSettings), optionally use this setting to specify a target loudness. If you don’t specify a value here, the encoder chooses a value for you, based on the algorithm that you choose for Algorithm (algorithm). If you choose algorithm 1770-1, the encoder will choose -24 LKFS; otherwise, the encoder will choose -23 LKFS.

AudioSourceName -> (string)

Specifies which audio data to use from each input. In the simplest case, specify an “Audio Selector”:#inputs-audio_selector by name based on its order within each input. For example if you specify “Audio Selector 3”, then the third audio selector will be used from each input. If an input does not have an “Audio Selector 3”, then the audio selector marked as “default” in that input will be used. If there is no audio selector marked as “default”, silence will be inserted for the duration of that input. Alternatively, an “Audio Selector Group”:#inputs-audio_selector_group name may be specified, with similar default/silence behavior. If no audio_source_name is specified, then “Audio Selector 1” will be chosen automatically.

AudioType -> (integer)

Applies only if Follow Input Audio Type is unchecked (false). A number between 0 and 255. The following are defined in ISO-IEC 13818-1: 0 = Undefined, 1 = Clean Effects, 2 = Hearing Impaired, 3 = Visually Impaired Commentary, 4-255 = Reserved.

AudioTypeControl -> (string)

When set to FOLLOW_INPUT, if the input contains an ISO 639 audio_type, then that value is passed through to the output. If the input contains no ISO 639 audio_type, the value in Audio Type is included in the output. Otherwise the value in Audio Type is included in the output. Note that this field and audioType are both ignored if audioDescriptionBroadcasterMix is set to BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD.

CodecSettings -> (structure)

Audio codec settings (CodecSettings) under (AudioDescriptions) contains the group of settings related to audio encoding. The settings in this group vary depending on the value that you choose for Audio codec (Codec). For each codec enum that you choose, define the corresponding settings object. The following lists the codec enum, settings object pairs. * AAC, AacSettings * MP2, Mp2Settings * MP3, Mp3Settings * WAV, WavSettings * AIFF, AiffSettings * AC3, Ac3Settings * EAC3, Eac3Settings * EAC3_ATMOS, Eac3AtmosSettings * VORBIS, VorbisSettings * OPUS, OpusSettings

AacSettings -> (structure)

Required when you set (Codec) under (AudioDescriptions)>(CodecSettings) to the value AAC. The service accepts one of two mutually exclusive groups of AAC settings–VBR and CBR. To select one of these modes, set the value of Bitrate control mode (rateControlMode) to “VBR” or “CBR”. In VBR mode, you control the audio quality with the setting VBR quality (vbrQuality). In CBR mode, you use the setting Bitrate (bitrate). Defaults and valid values depend on the rate control mode.

AudioDescriptionBroadcasterMix -> (string)

Choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD when the input contains pre-mixed main audio + audio description (AD) as a stereo pair. The value for AudioType will be set to 3, which signals to downstream systems that this stream contains “broadcaster mixed AD”. Note that the input received by the encoder must contain pre-mixed audio; the encoder does not perform the mixing. When you choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD, the encoder ignores any values you provide in AudioType and FollowInputAudioType. Choose NORMAL when the input does not contain pre-mixed audio + audio description (AD). In this case, the encoder will use any values you provide for AudioType and FollowInputAudioType.

Bitrate -> (integer)

Specify the average bitrate in bits per second. The set of valid values for this setting is: 6000, 8000, 10000, 12000, 14000, 16000, 20000, 24000, 28000, 32000, 40000, 48000, 56000, 64000, 80000, 96000, 112000, 128000, 160000, 192000, 224000, 256000, 288000, 320000, 384000, 448000, 512000, 576000, 640000, 768000, 896000, 1024000. The value you set is also constrained by the values that you choose for Profile (codecProfile), Bitrate control mode (codingMode), and Sample rate (sampleRate). Default values depend on Bitrate control mode and Profile.

CodecProfile -> (string)

AAC Profile.

CodingMode -> (string)

Mono (Audio Description), Mono, Stereo, or 5.1 channel layout. Valid values depend on rate control mode and profile. “1.0 - Audio Description (Receiver Mix)” setting receives a stereo description plus control track and emits a mono AAC encode of the description track, with control data emitted in the PES header as per ETSI TS 101 154 Annex E.

RateControlMode -> (string)

Rate Control Mode.

RawFormat -> (string)

Enables LATM/LOAS AAC output. Note that if you use LATM/LOAS AAC in an output, you must choose “No container” for the output container.

SampleRate -> (integer)

Sample rate in Hz. Valid values depend on rate control mode and profile.

Specification -> (string)

Use MPEG-2 AAC instead of MPEG-4 AAC audio for raw or MPEG-2 Transport Stream containers.

VbrQuality -> (string)

VBR Quality Level - Only used if rate_control_mode is VBR.

Ac3Settings -> (structure)

Required when you set (Codec) under (AudioDescriptions)>(CodecSettings) to the value AC3.

Bitrate -> (integer)

Specify the average bitrate in bits per second. Valid bitrates depend on the coding mode.

BitstreamMode -> (string)

Specify the bitstream mode for the AC-3 stream that the encoder emits. For more information about the AC3 bitstream mode, see ATSC A/52-2012 (Annex E).

CodingMode -> (string)

Dolby Digital coding mode. Determines number of channels.

Dialnorm -> (integer)

Sets the dialnorm for the output. If blank and input audio is Dolby Digital, dialnorm will be passed through.

DynamicRangeCompressionProfile -> (string)

If set to FILM_STANDARD, adds dynamic range compression signaling to the output bitstream as defined in the Dolby Digital specification.

LfeFilter -> (string)

Applies a 120Hz lowpass filter to the LFE channel prior to encoding. Only valid with 3_2_LFE coding mode.

MetadataControl -> (string)

When set to FOLLOW_INPUT, encoder metadata will be sourced from the DD, DD+, or DolbyE decoder that supplied this audio data. If audio was not supplied from one of these streams, then the static metadata settings will be used.

SampleRate -> (integer)

This value is always 48000. It represents the sample rate in Hz.

AiffSettings -> (structure)

Required when you set (Codec) under (AudioDescriptions)>(CodecSettings) to the value AIFF.

BitDepth -> (integer)

Specify Bit depth (BitDepth), in bits per sample, to choose the encoding quality for this audio track.

Channels -> (integer)

Specify the number of channels in this output audio track. Valid values are 1 and even numbers up to 64. For example, 1, 2, 4, 6, and so on, up to 64.

SampleRate -> (integer)

SegmentationStyle -> (string)

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of “reset_cadence” is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of of $segmentation_time seconds. When a segmentation style of “maintain_cadence” is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentation_time seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.

Required when you set Codec, under VideoDescription>CodecSettings to the value AV1.

AdaptiveQuantization -> (string)

Adaptive quantization. Allows intra-frame quantizers to vary to improve visual quality.

FramerateControl -> (string)

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction. If you are creating your transcoding job specification as a JSON file without the console, use FramerateControl to specify which value the service uses for the frame rate for this output. Choose INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE if you want the service to use the frame rate from the input. Choose SPECIFIED if you want the service to use the frame rate you specify in the settings FramerateNumerator and FramerateDenominator.

Optional. Specify how the transcoder performs framerate conversion. The default behavior is to use duplicate drop conversion.

FramerateDenominator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

FramerateNumerator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

GopSize -> (double)

Specify the GOP length (keyframe interval) in frames. With AV1, MediaConvert doesn’t support GOP length in seconds. This value must be greater than zero and preferably equal to 1 + ((numberBFrames + 1) * x), where x is an integer value.

QvbrQualityLevel -> (integer)

Required when you use QVBR rate control mode. That is, when you specify qvbrSettings within av1Settings. Specify the general target quality level for this output, from 1 to 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

QvbrQualityLevelFineTune -> (double)

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

Files will be named as filename.n.jpg where n is the 0-based sequence number of each Capture.

FramerateNumerator -> (integer)

Frame capture will encode the first frame of the output stream, then one frame every framerateDenominator/framerateNumerator seconds. For example, settings of framerateNumerator = 1 and framerateDenominator = 3 (a rate of 1/3 frame per second) will capture the first frame, then 1 frame every 3s.

H.264 Profile. High 4:2:2 and 10-bit profiles are only available with the AVC-I License.

DynamicSubGop -> (string)

Choose Adaptive to improve subjective video quality for high-motion content. This will cause the service to use fewer B-frames (which infer information based on other frames) for high-motion portions of the video and more B-frames for low-motion portions. The maximum number of B-frames is limited by the value you provide for the setting B frames between reference frames (numberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames).

Entropy encoding mode. Use CABAC (must be in Main or High profile) or CAVLC.

FieldEncoding -> (string)

Choosing FORCE_FIELD disables PAFF encoding for interlaced outputs.

FlickerAdaptiveQuantization -> (string)

Adjust quantization within each frame to reduce flicker or ‘pop’ on I-frames.

FramerateControl -> (string)

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction. If you are creating your transcoding job specification as a JSON file without the console, use FramerateControl to specify which value the service uses for the frame rate for this output. Choose INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE if you want the service to use the frame rate from the input. Choose SPECIFIED if you want the service to use the frame rate you specify in the settings FramerateNumerator and FramerateDenominator.

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

FramerateNumerator -> (integer)

Frame rate numerator - frame rate is a fraction, e.g. 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps.

GopBReference -> (string)

If enable, use reference B frames for GOP structures that have B frames > 1.

HrdBufferSize -> (integer)

Size of buffer (HRD buffer model) in bits. For example, enter five megabits as 5000000.

InterlaceMode -> (string)

Use Interlace mode (InterlaceMode) to choose the scan line type for the output. * Top Field First (TOP_FIELD) and Bottom Field First (BOTTOM_FIELD) produce interlaced output with the entire output having the same field polarity (top or bottom first). * Follow, Default Top (FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD) and Follow, Default Bottom (FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD) use the same field polarity as the source. Therefore, behavior depends on the input scan type, as follows. - If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source (it will follow the source). The output could therefore be a mix of “top field first” and “bottom field first”. - If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with “top field first” or “bottom field first” polarity, depending on which of the Follow options you chose.

MaxBitrate -> (integer)

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000. Required when Rate control mode is QVBR.

MinIInterval -> (integer)

Enforces separation between repeated (cadence) I-frames and I-frames inserted by Scene Change Detection. If a scene change I-frame is within I-interval frames of a cadence I-frame, the GOP is shrunk and/or stretched to the scene change I-frame. GOP stretch requires enabling lookahead as well as setting I-interval. The normal cadence resumes for the next GOP. This setting is only used when Scene Change Detect is enabled. Note: Maximum GOP stretch = GOP size + Min-I-interval - 1

NumberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames -> (integer)

Number of B-frames between reference frames.

NumberReferenceFrames -> (integer)

Number of reference frames to use. The encoder may use more than requested if using B-frames and/or interlaced encoding.

ParControl -> (string)

Optional. Specify how the service determines the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) for this output. The default behavior, Follow source (INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE), uses the PAR from your input video for your output. To specify a different PAR in the console, choose any value other than Follow source. To specify a different PAR by editing the JSON job specification, choose SPECIFIED. When you choose SPECIFIED for this setting, you must also specify values for the parNumerator and parDenominator settings.

ParDenominator -> (integer)

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio (parControl) to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parDenominator is 33.

ParNumerator -> (integer)

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio (parControl) to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parNumerator is 40.

MaxAverageBitrate -> (integer)

Use this setting only when Rate control mode is QVBR and Quality tuning level is Multi-pass HQ. For Max average bitrate values suited to the complexity of your input video, the service limits the average bitrate of the video part of this output to the value that you choose. That is, the total size of the video element is less than or equal to the value you set multiplied by the number of seconds of encoded output.

QvbrQualityLevel -> (integer)

Required when you use QVBR rate control mode. That is, when you specify qvbrSettings within h264Settings. Specify the general target quality level for this output, from 1 to 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune.

DynamicSubGop -> (string)

Choose Adaptive to improve subjective video quality for high-motion content. This will cause the service to use fewer B-frames (which infer information based on other frames) for high-motion portions of the video and more B-frames for low-motion portions. The maximum number of B-frames is limited by the value you provide for the setting B frames between reference frames (numberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames).

FlickerAdaptiveQuantization -> (string)

Adjust quantization within each frame to reduce flicker or ‘pop’ on I-frames.

FramerateControl -> (string)

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction. If you are creating your transcoding job specification as a JSON file without the console, use FramerateControl to specify which value the service uses for the frame rate for this output.

Choose Follow, Default Top (FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD) or Follow, Default Bottom (FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD) to create an interlaced output with the same field polarity as the source. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source (it will follow the source). The output could therefore be a mix of “top field first” and “bottom field first”. If the source is progressive, your output will be interlaced with “top field first” or “bottom field first” polarity, depending on which of the Follow options you chose. If you don’t choose a value, the service will default to Progressive (PROGRESSIVE).

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000. Required when Rate control mode is QVBR.

MinIInterval -> (integer)

Enforces separation between repeated (cadence) I-frames and I-frames inserted by Scene Change Detection. If a scene change I-frame is within I-interval frames of a cadence I-frame, the GOP is shrunk and/or stretched to the scene change I-frame. GOP stretch requires enabling lookahead as well as setting I-interval. The normal cadence resumes for the next GOP. This setting is only used when Scene Change Detect is enabled. Note: Maximum GOP stretch = GOP size + Min-I-interval - 1

NumberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames -> (integer)

Number of B-frames between reference frames.

NumberReferenceFrames -> (integer)

Number of reference frames to use. The encoder may use more than requested if using B-frames and/or interlaced encoding.

MaxAverageBitrate -> (integer)

Use this setting only when Rate control mode is QVBR and Quality tuning level is Multi-pass HQ. For Max average bitrate values suited to the complexity of your input video, the service limits the average bitrate of the video part of this output to the value that you choose. That is, the total size of the video element is less than or equal to the value you set multiplied by the number of seconds of encoded output.

QvbrQualityLevel -> (integer)

Required when you use QVBR rate control mode. That is, when you specify qvbrSettings within h265Settings. Specify the general target quality level for this output, from 1 to 10.

For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

QvbrQualityLevelFineTune -> (double)

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

TemporalAdaptiveQuantization -> (string)

Adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity.

TemporalIds -> (string)

Enables temporal layer identifiers in the encoded bitstream. Up to 3 layers are supported depending on GOP structure: I- and P-frames form one layer, reference B-frames can form a second layer and non-reference b-frames can form a third layer. Decoders can optionally decode only the lower temporal layers to generate a lower frame rate output. For example, given a bitstream with temporal IDs and with b-frames = 1 (i.e. IbPbPb display order), a decoder could decode all the frames for full frame rate output or only the I and P frames (lowest temporal layer) for a half frame rate output.

Tiles -> (string)

Enable use of tiles, allowing horizontal as well as vertical subdivision of the encoded pictures.

UnregisteredSeiTimecode -> (string)

Inserts timecode for each frame as 4 bytes of an unregistered SEI message.

If the location of parameter set NAL units doesn’t matter in your workflow, ignore this setting. Use this setting only with CMAF or DASH outputs, or with standalone file outputs in an MPEG-4 container (MP4 outputs). Choose HVC1 to mark your output as HVC1. This makes your output compliant with the following specification: ISO IECJTC1 SC29 N13798 Text ISO/IEC FDIS 14496-15 3rd Edition. For these outputs, the service stores parameter set NAL units in the sample headers but not in the samples directly. For MP4 outputs, when you choose HVC1, your output video might not work properly with some downstream systems and video players. The service defaults to marking your output as HEV1. For these outputs, the service writes parameter set NAL units directly into the samples.

Target bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000.

FramerateControl -> (string)

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction. If you are creating your transcoding job specification as a JSON file without the console, use FramerateControl to specify which value the service uses for the frame rate for this output. Choose INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE if you want the service to use the frame rate from the input. Choose SPECIFIED if you want the service to use the frame rate you specify in the settings FramerateNumerator and FramerateDenominator.

FramerateConversionAlgorithm -> (string)

Optional. Specify how the transcoder performs framerate conversion. The default behavior is to use Drop duplicate (DUPLICATE_DROP) conversion. When you choose Interpolate (INTERPOLATE) instead, the conversion produces smoother motion.

FramerateDenominator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

FramerateNumerator -> (integer)

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

GopSize -> (double)

Optional. Specify how the service determines the pixel aspect ratio for this output. The default behavior is to use the same pixel aspect ratio as your input video.

ParDenominator -> (integer)

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio (parControl) to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parDenominator is 33.

ParNumerator -> (integer)

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio (parControl) to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parNumerator is 40.

QualityTuningLevel -> (string)

Optional. Use Quality tuning level (qualityTuningLevel) to choose how you want to trade off encoding speed for output video quality. The default behavior is faster, lower quality, multi-pass encoding.

RateControlMode -> (string)

With the VP9 codec, you can use only the variable bitrate (VBR) rate control mode.

ColorMetadata -> (string)

Choose Insert (INSERT) for this setting to include color metadata in this output. Choose Ignore (IGNORE) to exclude color metadata from this output. If you don’t specify a value, the service sets this to Insert by default.

DropFrameTimecode -> (string)

Applies only to 29.97 fps outputs. When this feature is enabled, the service will use drop-frame timecode on outputs. If it is not possible to use drop-frame timecode, the system will fall back to non-drop-frame. This setting is enabled by default when Timecode insertion (TimecodeInsertion) is enabled.

FixedAfd -> (integer)

Applies only if you set AFD Signaling(AfdSignaling) to Fixed (FIXED). Use Fixed (FixedAfd) to specify a four-bit AFD value which the service will write on all frames of this video output.

Height -> (integer)

Use the Height (Height) setting to define the video resolution height for this output. Specify in pixels. If you don’t provide a value here, the service will use the input height.

Position -> (structure)

Use Selection placement (position) to define the video area in your output frame. The area outside of the rectangle that you specify here is black.

Height -> (integer)

Height of rectangle in pixels. Specify only even numbers.

RespondToAfd -> (string)

Use Respond to AFD (RespondToAfd) to specify how the service changes the video itself in response to AFD values in the input. * Choose Respond to clip the input video frame according to the AFD value, input display aspect ratio, and output display aspect ratio. * Choose Passthrough to include the input AFD values. Do not choose this when AfdSignaling is set to (NONE). A preferred implementation of this workflow is to set RespondToAfd to (NONE) and set AfdSignaling to (AUTO). * Choose None to remove all input AFD values from this output.

ScalingBehavior -> (string)

Specify how the service handles outputs that have a different aspect ratio from the input aspect ratio. Choose Stretch to output (STRETCH_TO_OUTPUT) to have the service stretch your video image to fit. Keep the setting Default (DEFAULT) to have the service letterbox your video instead. This setting overrides any value that you specify for the setting Selection placement (position) in this output.

Sharpness -> (integer)

Use Sharpness (Sharpness) setting to specify the strength of anti-aliasing. This setting changes the width of the anti-alias filter kernel used for scaling. Sharpness only applies if your output resolution is different from your input resolution. 0 is the softest setting, 100 the sharpest, and 50 recommended for most content.

TimecodeInsertion -> (string)

Applies only to H.264, H.265, MPEG2, and ProRes outputs. Only enable Timecode insertion when the input frame rate is identical to the output frame rate. To include timecodes in this output, set Timecode insertion (VideoTimecodeInsertion) to PIC_TIMING_SEI. To leave them out, set it to DISABLED. Default is DISABLED. When the service inserts timecodes in an output, by default, it uses any embedded timecodes from the input. If none are present, the service will set the timecode for the first output frame to zero. To change this default behavior, adjust the settings under Timecode configuration (TimecodeConfig). In the console, these settings are located under Job > Job settings > Timecode configuration. Note - Timecode source under input settings (InputTimecodeSource) does not affect the timecodes that are inserted in the output. Source under Job settings > Timecode configuration (TimecodeSource) does.

VideoPreprocessors -> (structure)

Find additional transcoding features under Preprocessors (VideoPreprocessors). Enable the features at each output individually. These features are disabled by default.

ColorCorrector -> (structure)

Enable the Color corrector (ColorCorrector) feature if necessary. Enable or disable this feature for each output individually. This setting is disabled by default.

Brightness -> (integer)

Brightness level.

ColorSpaceConversion -> (string)

Specify the color space you want for this output. The service supports conversion between HDR formats, between SDR formats, from SDR to HDR, and from HDR to SDR. SDR to HDR conversion doesn’t upgrade the dynamic range. The converted video has an HDR format, but visually appears the same as an unconverted output. HDR to SDR conversion uses Elemental tone mapping technology to approximate the outcome of manually regrading from HDR to SDR.

Contrast -> (integer)

Contrast level.

Hdr10Metadata -> (structure)

Use these settings when you convert to the HDR 10 color space. Specify the SMPTE ST 2086 Mastering Display Color Volume static metadata that you want signaled in the output. These values don’t affect the pixel values that are encoded in the video stream. They are intended to help the downstream video player display content in a way that reflects the intentions of the the content creator. When you set Color space conversion (ColorSpaceConversion) to HDR 10 (FORCE_HDR10), these settings are required. You must set values for Max frame average light level (maxFrameAverageLightLevel) and Max content light level (maxContentLightLevel); these settings don’t have a default value. The default values for the other HDR 10 metadata settings are defined by the P3D65 color space. For more information about MediaConvert HDR jobs, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/mediaconvert/hdr.

Deinterlacer -> (structure)

Use Deinterlacer (Deinterlacer) to produce smoother motion and a clearer picture.

Algorithm -> (string)

Only applies when you set Deinterlacer (DeinterlaceMode) to Deinterlace (DEINTERLACE) or Adaptive (ADAPTIVE). Motion adaptive interpolate (INTERPOLATE) produces sharper pictures, while blend (BLEND) produces smoother motion. Use (INTERPOLATE_TICKER) OR (BLEND_TICKER) if your source file includes a ticker, such as a scrolling headline at the bottom of the frame.

Control -> (string)

When set to NORMAL (default), the deinterlacer does not convert frames that are tagged in metadata as progressive. It will only convert those that are tagged as some other type. - When set to FORCE_ALL_FRAMES, the deinterlacer converts every frame to progressive - even those that are already tagged as progressive. Turn Force mode on only if there is a good chance that the metadata has tagged frames as progressive when they are not progressive. Do not turn on otherwise; processing frames that are already progressive into progressive will probably result in lower quality video.

Mode -> (string)

Use Deinterlacer (DeinterlaceMode) to choose how the service will do deinterlacing. Default is Deinterlace. - Deinterlace converts interlaced to progressive. - Inverse telecine converts Hard Telecine 29.97i to progressive 23.976p. - Adaptive auto-detects and converts to progressive.

FadeIn -> (integer)

Specify the length of time, in milliseconds, between the Start time that you specify for the image insertion and the time that the image appears at full opacity. Full opacity is the level that you specify for the opacity setting. If you don’t specify a value for Fade-in, the image will appear abruptly at the overlay start time.

FadeOut -> (integer)

Specify the length of time, in milliseconds, between the end of the time that you have specified for the image overlay Duration and when the overlaid image has faded to total transparency. If you don’t specify a value for Fade-out, the image will disappear abruptly at the end of the inserted image duration.

Height -> (integer)

Specify the height of the inserted image in pixels. If you specify a value that’s larger than the video resolution height, the service will crop your overlaid image to fit. To use the native height of the image, keep this setting blank.

Use Opacity (Opacity) to specify how much of the underlying video shows through the inserted image. 0 is transparent and 100 is fully opaque. Default is 50.

StartTime -> (string)

Specify the timecode of the frame that you want the overlay to first appear on. This must be in timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF or HH:MM:SS;FF) format. Remember to take into account your timecode source settings.

Width -> (integer)

Specify the width of the inserted image in pixels. If you specify a value that’s larger than the video resolution width, the service will crop your overlaid image to fit. To use the native width of the image, keep this setting blank.

NoiseReducer -> (structure)

Enable the Noise reducer (NoiseReducer) feature to remove noise from your video output if necessary. Enable or disable this feature for each output individually. This setting is disabled by default.

AggressiveMode -> (integer)

Use Aggressive mode for content that has complex motion. Higher values produce stronger temporal filtering. This filters highly complex scenes more aggressively and creates better VQ for low bitrate outputs.

PostTemporalSharpening -> (string)

Optional. When you set Noise reducer (noiseReducer) to Temporal (TEMPORAL), you can optionally use this setting to apply additional sharpening. The default behavior, Auto (AUTO) allows the transcoder to determine whether to apply filtering, depending on input type and quality.

Speed -> (integer)

The speed of the filter (higher number is faster). Low setting reduces bit rate at the cost of transcode time, high setting improves transcode time at the cost of bit rate.

Strength -> (integer)

Specify the strength of the noise reducing filter on this output. Higher values produce stronger filtering. We recommend the following value ranges, depending on the result that you want: * 0-2 for complexity reduction with minimal sharpness loss * 2-8 for complexity reduction with image preservation * 8-16 for a high level of complexity reduction

PartnerWatermarking -> (structure)

You must generate a unique ID for each asset you watermark, and keep a record of which ID you have assigned to each asset. Neither Nagra nor MediaConvert keep track of the relationship between output files and your IDs. For OTT Streaming, create two adaptive bitrate (ABR) stacks for each asset. Do this by setting up two output groups. For one output group, set the value of Payload ID (payload) to 0 in every output. For the other output group, set Payload ID (payload) to 1 in every output.

Preset -> (string)

Enter one of the watermarking preset strings that Nagra provides you. Required when you include Nagra NexGuard File Marker watermarking (NexGuardWatermarkingSettings) in your job.
