# Configuring SCTE-35 marker passthrough from your input
<a name="passing-through-scte-35-markers"></a>

You can include time\$1signal SCTE-35 markers from your input in any output that has a transport stream container. These outputs might be in an HLS package, or they might be standalone files wrapped in an MPEG2 transport stream (M2TS) container.

**To pass through SCTE-35 markers from the input to an output (console)**

1. Open the MediaConvert console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert](https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert).

1. Choose **Create job**.

1. Set up your input, output groups, and outputs for video and audio, as described in [Tutorial: Configuring job settings](setting-up-a-job.md) and [Creating outputs](output-settings.md).

1. Choose an output under either **File group**, **DASH ISO**, **Apple HLS**, or **CMAF**. 

1. Under **Container settings** (for **File group**, **DASH ISO**, or **CMAF** outputs), or **Transport stream settings** (for **Apple HLS** outputs), find **SCTE-35 source**, and then choose **Passthrough**.

1. Optional. For outputs in a **File group** output group, when you set **Output settings**, **Container** to **MPEG-2 Transport Stream** (M2TS), you can enter a value for **SCTE-35 PID** that is different from the default **500**. 

   A PID, or packet identifier, is an identifier for a set of data in an MPEG-2 transport stream container. PIDs are used by downstream systems and players to locate specific information in the container. 

1. Optional. For outputs in an **Apple HLS** output group, you can set up the job to include ad markers in the manifest. For more information, see [Including SCTE-35 information in your HLS manifest](including-scte-35-information-in-your-hls-manifest.md).
