Settings related to DVB-Sub captions. Set up DVB-Sub captions in the same output as your video. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/dvb-sub-output-captions.html. When you work directly in your JSON job specification, include this object and any required children when you set destinationType to DVB_SUB.

See: newDvbSubDestinationSettings smart constructor.

Create a value of DvbSubDestinationSettings with all optional fields omitted.

Use generic-lens or optics to modify other optional fields.

The following record fields are available, with the corresponding lenses provided for backwards compatibility:

$sel:ddsHandling:DvbSubDestinationSettings', dvbSubDestinationSettings_ddsHandling - Specify how MediaConvert handles the display definition segment (DDS). Keep the default, None (NONE), to exclude the DDS from this set of captions. Choose No display window (NO_DISPLAY_WINDOW) to have MediaConvert include the DDS but not include display window data. In this case, MediaConvert writes that information to the page composition segment (PCS) instead. Choose Specify (SPECIFIED) to have MediaConvert set up the display window based on the values that you specify in related job settings. For video resolutions that are 576 pixels or smaller in height, MediaConvert doesn't include the DDS, regardless of the value you choose for DDS handling (ddsHandling). In this case, it doesn't write the display window data to the PCS either. Related settings: Use the settings DDS x-coordinate (ddsXCoordinate) and DDS y-coordinate (ddsYCoordinate) to specify the offset between the top left corner of the display window and the top left corner of the video frame. All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.

$sel:backgroundOpacity:DvbSubDestinationSettings', dvbSubDestinationSettings_backgroundOpacity - Specify the opacity of the background rectangle. Enter a value from 0 to 255, where 0 is transparent and 255 is opaque. If Style passthrough (StylePassthrough) is set to enabled, leave blank to pass through the background style information in your input captions to your output captions. If Style passthrough is set to disabled, leave blank to use a value of 0 and remove all backgrounds from your output captions. Within your job settings, all of your DVB-Sub settings must be identical.

$sel:fallbackFont:DvbSubDestinationSettings', dvbSubDestinationSettings_fallbackFont - Specify the font that you want the service to use for your burn in captions when your input captions specify a font that MediaConvert doesn't support. When you set Fallback font (FallbackFont) to best match (BEST_MATCH), or leave blank, MediaConvert uses a supported font that most closely matches the font that your input captions specify. When there are multiple unsupported fonts in your input captions, MediaConvert matches each font with the supported font that matches best. When you explicitly choose a replacement font, MediaConvert uses that font to replace all unsupported fonts from your input.

$sel:height:DvbSubDestinationSettings', dvbSubDestinationSettings_height - Specify the height, in pixels, of this set of DVB-Sub captions. The default value is 576 pixels. Related setting: When you use this setting, you must set DDS handling (ddsHandling) to a value other than None (NONE). All burn-in and DVB-Sub font settings must match.
