InputTamsSettings
Specify a Time Addressable Media Store (TAMS) server as an input source. TAMS is an open-source API specification that provides access to time-segmented media content. Use TAMS to retrieve specific time ranges from live or archived media streams. When you specify TAMS settings, MediaConvert connects to your TAMS server, retrieves the media segments for your specified time range, and processes them as a single input. This enables workflows like extracting clips from live streams or processing specific portions of archived content. To use TAMS, you must: 1. Have access to a TAMS-compliant server 2. Specify the server URL in the Input file URL field 3. Provide the required SourceId and Timerange parameters 4. Configure authentication, if your TAMS server requires it
Types
Properties
Specify the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of an EventBridge Connection to authenticate with your TAMS server. The EventBridge Connection stores your authentication credentials securely. MediaConvert assumes your job's IAM role to access this connection, so ensure the role has the events:RetrieveConnectionCredentials, secretsmanager:DescribeSecret, and secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permissions. Format: arn:aws:events:region:account-id:connection/connection-name/unique-id
Specify how MediaConvert handles gaps between media segments in your TAMS source. Gaps can occur in live streams due to network issues or other interruptions. Choose from the following options: * Skip gaps - Default. Skip over gaps and join segments together. This creates a continuous output with no blank frames, but may cause timeline discontinuities. * Fill with black - Insert black frames to fill gaps between segments. This maintains timeline continuity but adds black frames where content is missing. * Hold last frame - Repeat the last frame before a gap until the next segment begins. This maintains visual continuity during gaps.
Specify the unique identifier for the media source in your TAMS server. MediaConvert uses this source ID to locate the appropriate flows containing the media segments you want to process. The source ID corresponds to a specific media source registered in your TAMS server. This source must be of type urn:x-nmos:format:multi, and can can reference multiple flows for audio, video, or combined audio/video content. MediaConvert automatically selects the highest quality flows available for your job. This setting is required when include TAMS settings in your job.
Specify the time range of media segments to retrieve from your TAMS server. MediaConvert fetches only the segments that fall within this range. Use the format specified by your TAMS server implementation. This must be two timestamp values with the format {sign?}{seconds}:{nanoseconds}, separated by an underscore, surrounded by either parentheses or square brackets. Example: [15:0_35:0) This setting is required when include TAMS settings in your job.
