Requirements for TAMS inputs

A TAMS server that implements the BBC TAMS API specification and is accessible from MediaConvert using HTTPS protocol. The server must support the required API endpoints for sources, flows, and segments. Provide only the base server URL (such as https://tams-server.example.com/api) without source IDs or query parameters.

For more information about the BBC TAMS specification, see: https://bbc.github.io/tams/main/index.html

An Amazon EventBridge connection configured with OAuth credentials for your TAMS server. The connection must include the required OAuth scopes: tams-api/read, tams-api/write, and tams-api/delete.

For information about EventBridge connections, see the EventBridge user guide.

A UUID that identifies a valid multi-format source on your TAMS server. The source must contain video, audio, or combined flows with segments available for the specified time range.

Your MediaConvert service role must have permissions to access the specified EventBridge connection. Add the following permissions to your service role:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "ConnectionPermissions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "events:RetrieveConnectionCredentials"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:events:us-west-2:111122223333:connection/*"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "SecretsManagerPermissions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
                "secretsmanager:DescribeSecret"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:111122223333:secret:events!connection/*"
        }
    ]
}

Each TAMS flow can contain a maximum of 10,000 segments. If your time range includes more segments, the job fails with an error. Consider using shorter time ranges or multiple jobs for longer content.

You cannot specify input clipping settings on TAMS inputs. MediaConvert automatically calculates precise clipping parameters based on segment boundaries and your specified time range.

The timecode source must be set to Zero-based or left unspecified. Other timecode sources interfere with the automatic clipping calculations.
