# Metadata encoding parameters

| Codec                                  | Select the codec used to refine the stream object type.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Use POIS                               | Only available with Conditioning . Tick this checkbox if you want to define a POIS server.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| PTS insertion compensation             | Only available with Conditioning . Enable pts insertion compensation. If checked, the pts\_adjustment of an SCTE-35 event will be adjusted so that the splice\_time + pts\_adjustment corresponds to the PTS of the video frame, as illustrated below: Note: Arm time is the time that separates the SCTE-35 event from its execution. |
| Recover conditioning state if failover | If 'By Controller' is selected, this option enables to keep the conditioning status after an encoder failover without the need of any external system.                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| Parameter         | Description                                                                                                 |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Delay             | If metadata stream is SCTE35, a delay adjusts the trigger time value. Possible values: From 30000 to 60.000 |
| URL               | URL for the POIS (Placement Opportunity Information Service) (if any)                                       |
| Network interface | Name of the network interface used to communicate with the POIS                                             |
| Network name      | ID shared with the POIS for the current channel                                                             |
| Zone identity     | The area ID for this channel distribution. Commonly used for regionalization.                               |
