    - OffsetMillis (integer) –
      
      How long (in milliseconds) after the beginning of the program that an ad starts. This value must fall within 100ms of a segment boundary, otherwise the ad break will be skipped.

        The name of the source location where the slate VOD source is stored.
      - VodSourceName (string) –
        
        The slate VOD source name. The VOD source must already exist in a source location before it can be used for slate.
    - SpliceInsertMessage (dict) –
      
      This defines the SCTE-35 splice_insert() message inserted around the ad. For information about using splice_insert(), see the SCTE-35 specficiaiton, section 9.7.3.1.
      - AvailNum (integer) –
        
        This is written to splice_insert.avail_num, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 0. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive.
      - AvailsExpected (integer) –
        
        This is written to splice_insert.avails_expected, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 0. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive.
      - SpliceEventId (integer) –
        
        This is written to splice_insert.splice_event_id, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 1.
      - UniqueProgramId (integer) –
        
        This is written to splice_insert.unique_program_id, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 0. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive.
    - TimeSignalMessage (dict) –
      
      Defines the SCTE-35 time_signal message inserted around the ad.
      
      Programs on a channel’s schedule can be configured with one or more ad breaks. You can attach a splice_insert SCTE-35 message to the ad break. This message provides basic metadata about the ad break.
      
      See section 9.7.4 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification for more information.
      - SegmentationDescriptors (list) –
        
        The configurations for the SCTE-35 segmentation_descriptor message(s) sent with the time_signal message.
        
        (dict) –
        
        The segmentation_descriptor message can contain advanced metadata fields, like content identifiers, to convey a wide range of information about the ad break. MediaTailor writes the ad metadata in the egress manifest as part of the EXT-X-DATERANGE or EventStream ad marker’s SCTE-35 data.
        
        segmentation_descriptor messages must be sent with the time_signal message type.
        
        See the segmentation_descriptor() table of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification for more information.
        
        SegmentNum (integer) –

        SegmentationEventId (integer) –
        
        The Event Identifier to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_event_id message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 1.
