mediaOption Parameter

How to Use mediaOption Parameter

  1. Create an object for mediaOption and set additional information.

    // HTML code
<video id="myVideo" ...>
</video>

// JavaScript code
var options = {};
options.mediaTransportType = "WIDEVINE";
options.option = {};
options.option.drm = {};
options.option.drm.type = drmType;
...
options.option.transmission = {};
options.option.transmission.playTime = {};
options.option.transmission.playTime.start = start * 1000;

  2. Convert the created object to JSON string and encode it.

    var mediaOption = encodeURI(JSON.stringify(options));

  3. Create the source element.

    var source = document.createElement("source");

  4. Add attributes to the created source element for media content.

    var dataURL = "quot;http://example.com/test.mp4";
source.setAttribute('src', dataURL);

  5. Add the escaped string to type attribute as below:

    source.setAttribute('type', 'video/mp4;mediaOption=' + mediaOption);

  6. Add the created source element to a video element or audio element.

    video = document.getElementById('myVideo');
video.appendChild(source)

Media Transport Types

The following table describes media transport types.

Media Transport Type

Description

URI

URI is a general playing type. This type plays the content of URI.

WIDEVINE

Plays contents of Widevine DRM type.

HLS

Plays contents with HLS protocol. Following MIME types set the Media Transport Type to HLS automatically when src property contains "m3u8" file extension:

  • application/vnd.apple.mpegurl

  • application/mpegurl

  • application/x-mpegurl

  • application/vnd.apple.mpegurl.audio

  • audio/mpegurl

  • audio/x-mpegurl

3D Mode Types

The following table describes 3D Mode types.

3D Mode Type

Description

2D

This format displays content with the 2 Dimensional mode.

top_bottom

This format divides the screen lengthwise and puts two different frames for the left and right eyes top and down to create a single 3D frame image.

bottom_top

This format works in the same way as top_bottom, but the positions of the top and bottom frames are switched.

side_by_side_LR

This format divides the screen widthwise and puts two different frames for the left and right eyes side by side to create a single 3D frame image.

side_by_side_RL

This format works in the same way as side_by_side_LR, but positions of the left and right frames are switched.

check_board

In this format, a 3D frame image is created by arranging the left and right eye frames in a mosaic pattern like a checkerboard.

frame-sequential

Left and right frames are sent alternately to the display and by diverse systems like shuttered glasses or polarized glasses are then shown to each eye.

column_interleave

This format interleaves the left and right eye views on every other vertical column in the display window

frame_packing

Frame Packing refers to the combination of two frames, one for the left eye and the other for the right eye, into a single “packed” frame that consists of these two individual sub-frames. The key difference of a Frame Packing signal is that each sub-frame for each eye is still at full resolution, i.e., 1920×1080 for a 1080p Frame Packing signal, and 1280×720 for 720p Frame Packing 3D content.

field_alternative

Field Alternative is similar to Frame packing type. However, this type refers to the combination of more than 4 frames. This type breaks down each eye's frame to several field frames.

line_alternative

Line Alternative breaks down each eye's frame to the line by line.

side_by_side_full_LR

This format encodes the screen framewise(L to R) and puts two different frames into each frame. for the left and right eyes side by side to create each frame.

side_by_side_full_RL

This format encodes the screen framewise(R to L) and puts two different frames into each frame. for the left and right eyes side by side to create each frame.
