| SDP File Location   | Location of SDP file describing the input stream. Either a URL or a file location. Note: The SDP File Location must be specified when Live Encoder service is configured with [MediaComposer input type and an SMPTE ST 2110 source](/beam/live-encoder/configure/input/input-stream-source#configure-an-smpte-st-2110-input-with-sdp-files), but [if you are using NMOS](/beam/live-encoder/configure/input/input-stream-source#configure-an-smpte-st-2110-input-with-nmos), you don’t need to specify it, otherwise it will be ignored since the NMOS Controller supplies the SDP file. |
| Audio format        | Select if the audio format should be automatically detected or forced. For uncompressed/Dolby E Passthrough select either 'AES Uncompressed audio' or 'Dolby E' as the input format, and 'SMPTE302/Dolby E Passthrough' from the encoding menu.
