      • (dict) –

        Ad break configuration parameters.

        • MessageType (string) –

          The SCTE-35 ad insertion type. Accepted value: SPLICE_INSERT, TIME_SIGNAL.

        • 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.

        • Slate (dict) –

          Ad break slate configuration.

          • SourceLocationName (string) –

            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) –

                The segment number to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segment_num message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 0.

              • 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.

              • SegmentationTypeId (integer) –

                The Type Identifier to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_type_id message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 48.

              • SegmentationUpid (string) –

                The Upid to assign to the segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_upid message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification.
