HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) is an HTTP-based adaptive bitrate streaming communications protocol that extends its support in to media players, web browsers, mobile devices, and streaming media servers. The fields below and some pre-defined configurations (for scanned sources) are available if you scan or manually add an HLS source.

HLS sources have a parent and child channels , if there are is more than one channel attached to the HLS source.

Fields

Description

Label

Identification name for cross-system notifications; if the activated profile is not the default one, the profile's name will be displayed next to the channel's name on the mosaic.

Default

Set the profile as default. Only one profile can be set to default; setting a profile as default overrides previous settings.

Thresholds

Channel monitoring thresholds set. To reconfigure, please refer to Thresholds.

Notifications

Channel monitoring notifications set. To reconfigure, please refer to Notifications.

Title Color

Select the font color of the channel box title in the mosaic.

Border Color

Select the border color of the channel box in the mosaic. Change of border color due to error notification will override this setting.

Pixelization Level

Select the pixelization masking level from the dropdown (mostly used to mask adult content over the mosaic channel).

Service Bitrate

The total service bitrate of all PIDs, including the PMT itself.

Use the toggle switch to specify minimum and maximum values allowed or choose Auto for automatic selection. The values set are used for the service bitrate detection rules.

RST Running State

The RST allows accurate and rapid updating of the timing status of one or more events; this may be necessary when an event starts early or late due to scheduling changes. Select the desired RST Running State from the dropdown.

Components

To add components, click on Add Component and choose from the options listed.
