REST API Services 1.250.0

1.277.0

Released 2026-08-11

Added

[VOD] New Dolby Loudness Filter bringing ITU-R BS.1770 loudness measurement and correction with Dialogue Intelligence and a configurable speech threshold to AAC, HE-AAC v1, Opus and PCM (currently not supported for HE-AAC v2, Vorbis, DD/AC3, DD+/EAC3, Dolby Atmos, MP3, MP2, DTS, DTS:X).

Fixed

[VOD] Fixed an issue where starting an encoding with a large number of input files (for example, over 50 subtitle files) could time out. Input file sizes are now resolved in parallel, so should now be processed by the API much quicker.

Added

Support for configuring Dolby Atmos dynamic range compression modes is now available.

[AISA] Added adOpportunityInformation at the scene level to indicate how suitable a scene boundary is for ad break insertion.
