The Video Segment Generator Appliance will take a stream of payloads and identify new segment starts according to the timestamp of those payloads.

Configuration Options

The appliance takes in the following configuration values:

  • interval (milliseconds): the number of milliseconds that the clock will track (e.g. 60000 would be a clock that can track up to one minute). Default is INTERVALS.INFINITE.

  • startingAt (ISO String): what is the absolute time of the beginning of the first interval. Default is the ISO string value for the time of instantiation.

  • segments: array of objects and / or numbers specifying segment start times. If the value is an object the offset attribute is used to convey the segment start offset. Default is [0].

    • offset (milliseconds): the period offset that demarks the start of the segment.
    • data (json): the data to associate with the new segment.
