REST APIs

Features

• Introduced a new Live Clipping feature in Limited Availability (LA). Live Clipping provides the ability to record streams and extract a clip, such as a highlight, before the stream is finished. This allows you to share key moments or highlights during an ongoing event, providing mezzanine file for uploading to social media or a VOD platform. The following Record Files REST APIs are introduced to support capturing multiple simultaneous recordings while a broadcast event is in progress:

  • Create Clip
  • Get Clip Request
  • List Clip Requests
  • List Available Clip Sources

  For more information, see the Live Clipping document. During the LA phase, this feature is behind a feature flag. Please contact your Dolby account executive or the support team if you would like to try the feature.

• Introduced a new Cloud Transcoder feature in Limited Availability (LA). One of the benefits of Millicast is that the platform can ingest multi-bitrate contribution feeds and deliver them as adaptive bitrate playback. When encoding at the studio or broadcast center, this eliminates channel fees and has the fastest glass-to-glass latency. Sometimes multi-bitrate ingest is not possible and a single, high-quality ingest is sent instead. Cloud Transcoder provides the ability to ingest SRT or RTMP and generate a latency-optimized adaptive bitrate ladder generation. The Cloud Transcoder can accept H.264 or H.265 ingest (including B-frames) and creates WebRTC-optimized adaptive bitrate delivery with only a couple of frames of latency. A new Create Transcoder REST API is introduced for transcoder management. During the LA phase, this feature is behind a feature flag. Please contact your Dolby account executive or the support team if you would like to try the feature. For more information, see the Cloud Transcoder guide.
