class unreal.AvaBroadcastChannelType

Bases: EnumBase

The channel type defines what it is used for in the broadcast framework.

Primarily, the channel type is intended to resolve channel collisions between simultaneous “program” and “preview” playbacks on a given system. In other words: - Channel selection for rundown pages is restricted to “program” channels. - Channel selection for preview is restricted to “preview” channels.

It is thus not possible for a user to mistakenly select the same channel for both preview and program.

Some additional restrictions are applied according to channel type: - preview channels must only have outputs local to the process. “Remote” previews are not supported. - [backend] playback request type (program or preview) must match with the channel type. This is a safety

net for any other extended code paths that are not in the Motion Design plugin.
