3. Enter or select the following information depending on the selected type:

   1. Enter a [**PID**](/beam/live-encoder/parameters/input/metadata#in-band-metadata).

   2. If you selected **SCTE-35** type, you can apply a **Delay**.

   3. If you selected **Cuetones** type, select the audio source that you previously created.

4. Click **Ok** to save.
