Adding more Elemental Inference features - MediaLive

Adding more Elemental Inference features

In a MediaLive channel where Elemental Inference features are already set up, you can add more Elemental Inference features.

If you want to disable features rather than add them, see Disabling some Elemental Inference features in a channel or Disabling all Elemental Inference features in a channel.

  1. Make sure that you have room in the enabled outputs quota for Elemental Inference. The list of quotas is sorted alphabetically. Look for quotas that don't start with "Request rate for".

    Keep in mind that each feature that you enable in a channel results in one Elemental Inference output.

  2. In MediaLive, use update-channel to edit the channel. Make changes as described in the following table.

    Feature to add

    Action

    Event clipping

    There are no changes to make in the channel. But you must make a note of the value in feedArn in InferenceSettings.

    Smart crop You can add smart crop for the first time or you can set up more video encodes for smart crop.

    In both cases, insert Width, Height, and ScalingBehavior in the applicable video encodes (video descriptions), as described and illustrated in Setting up Elemental Inference features for the first time.

  3. When you save the channel, MediaLive performs the following actions:

    • If you are adding smart crop for the first time, MediaLive updates the feed in Elemental Inference to create a crop output in the feed.

  4. In the Elemental Inference, use update-feed to update the feed. Make changes as described in the following table.

    Feature to add

    Action

    Add event clipping

    Create one output of type ClippingConfig.
    Add smart crop for the first time There are no changes to make. Don't include an output in the feed. MediaLive won't use any feed you create, but any feed you create will count towards one or more Elemental Inference quotas.
    Extend smart crop to more channel outputs There are no changes to make.
  5. When you are ready to start the channel, use StartChannel in MediaLive.
