Request Syntax

response = client.create_channel(
    authorized=True|False,
    containerFormat='TS'|'FRAGMENTED_MP4',
    insecureIngest=True|False,
    latencyMode='NORMAL'|'LOW',
    multitrackInputConfiguration={
        'enabled': True|False,
        'maximumResolution': 'SD'|'HD'|'FULL_HD',
        'policy': 'ALLOW'|'REQUIRE'
    },

    playbackRestrictionPolicyArn='string',
    preset='HIGHER_BANDWIDTH_DELIVERY'|'CONSTRAINED_BANDWIDTH_DELIVERY',

    tags={
        'string': 'string'
    },
    type='BASIC'|'STANDARD'|'ADVANCED_SD'|'ADVANCED_HD'
)
Parameters:

  • authorized (boolean) – Whether the channel is private (enabled for playback authorization). Default: false.

  • containerFormat (string) – Indicates which content-packaging format is used (MPEG-TS or fMP4). If multitrackInputConfiguration is specified and enabled is true, then containerFormat is required and must be set to FRAGMENTED_MP4. Otherwise, containerFormat may be set to TS or FRAGMENTED_MP4. Default: TS.

  • insecureIngest (boolean) – Whether the channel allows insecure RTMP and SRT ingest. Default: false.

  • latencyMode (string) – Channel latency mode. Use NORMAL to broadcast and deliver live video up to Full HD. Use LOW for near-real-time interaction with viewers. Default: LOW.

  • multitrackInputConfiguration (dict) –

    Object specifying multitrack input configuration. Default: no multitrack input configuration is specified.

    • enabled (boolean) –

      Indicates whether multitrack input is enabled. Can be set to true only if channel type is STANDARD. Setting enabled to true with any other channel type will cause an exception. If true, then policy, maximumResolution, and containerFormat are required, and containerFormat must be set to FRAGMENTED_MP4. Default: false.

    • maximumResolution (string) –

      Maximum resolution for multitrack input. Required if enabled is true.

    • policy (string) –

      Indicates whether multitrack input is allowed or required. Required if enabled is true.

  • name (string) – Channel name.

  • playbackRestrictionPolicyArn (string) – Playback-restriction-policy ARN. A valid ARN value here both specifies the ARN and enables playback restriction. Default: “” (empty string, no playback restriction policy is applied).

  • preset (string) – Optional transcode preset for the channel. This is selectable only for ADVANCED_HD and ADVANCED_SD channel types. For those channel types, the default preset is HIGHER_BANDWIDTH_DELIVERY. For other channel types ( BASIC and STANDARD), preset is the empty string ( "").

  • recordingConfigurationArn (string) – Recording-configuration ARN. A valid ARN value here both specifies the ARN and enables recording. Default: “” (empty string, recording is disabled).

  • tags (dict) –

    Array of 1-50 maps, each of the form string:string (key:value). See Best practices and strategies in Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources and Tag Editor for details, including restrictions that apply to tags and “Tag naming limits and requirements”; Amazon IVS has no service-specific constraints beyond what is documented there.

    • (string) –

      • (string) –

  • type (string) – Channel type, which determines the allowable resolution and bitrate. If you exceed the allowable input resolution or bitrate, the stream probably will disconnect immediately. Default: STANDARD. For details, see Channel Types.

Return type:
