  1. Enable/Disable: Activates or deactivates the destination for publishing.
  2. Name: As described above, the name of your destination.
  3. URL: Displays the ingest URL.
  4. Write ad trigger as SCTE-35 markers into output: Activate to write configured events and markers from incoming live streams into the outgoing stream. In addition to the SCTE-35 markers within the actual ts-segments, the system also writes in Cue out/in markers into the m3u8 manifest and creates spice points (starts a new segment) when the SCTE marker is set. This enables you to utilize downstream content replacement workflows for e.g. dynamic ad insertion or (DAI).

  5. Use multi-bitrate: Enable this option to activate all pre defined HLS output qualities for adaptive player quality switching. Use Multi-Bitrate (ABR/MBR) HLS (Push/Pull) to CDN-Targets like Akamai/FASTLY/AWS Cloudfront, and more - including 6 output qualities over Apple HLS with frame accurate switching from quality to quality - based on the available user bandwidth. Please see technical specifications "Multi Bitrate (MBR) / Adaptive Bitrate (ABR)" section for more information. This feature is not available with all LTN Schedule Packages.
