Import or create a lineup configuration file
The Switch to TS feature is based on a lineup (json file) that lists the configuration of all the possible sources. It includes all the parameters needed to capture the source: multicast address and port, input streams, etc. This configuration is unique per Controller instance and is accessible by all Live Encoding services of that instance.
You can either create a lineup and import it or create a lineup from scratch.
