- DescribeProgramResponse
  - `AdBreaks` AdBreak[] — The ad break configuration settings.
    - `MessageType` 'SPLICE_INSERT' | 'TIME_SIGNAL' — The SCTE-35 ad insertion type. Accepted value: <code>SPLICE_INSERT</code>, <code>TIME_SIGNAL</code>.
    - `OffsetMillis` integer — How long (in milliseconds) after the beginning of the program that an ad starts. This value must fall within 100ms of a segment boundary, otherwise the ad break will be skipped.
    - `Slate` object — Ad break slate configuration.
      - `SourceLocationName` string — The name of the source location where the slate VOD source is stored.
      - `VodSourceName` string — The slate VOD source name. The VOD source must already exist in a source location before it can be used for slate.
    - `SpliceInsertMessage` object — This defines the SCTE-35 <code>splice_insert()</code> message inserted around the ad. For information about using <code>splice_insert()</code>, see the SCTE-35 specficiaiton, section 9.7.3.1.
      - `AvailNum` integer — This is written to <code>splice_insert.avail_num</code>, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is <code>0</code>. Values must be between <code>0</code> and <code>256</code>, inclusive.
      - `AvailsExpected` integer — This is written to <code>splice_insert.avails_expected</code>, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is <code>0</code>. Values must be between <code>0</code> and <code>256</code>, inclusive.
      - `SpliceEventId` integer — This is written to <code>splice_insert.splice_event_id</code>, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is <code>1</code>.
      - `UniqueProgramId` integer — This is written to <code>splice_insert.unique_program_id</code>, as defined in section 9.7.3.1 of the SCTE-35 specification. The default value is <code>0</code>. Values must be between <code>0</code> and <code>256</code>, inclusive.
    - `TimeSignalMessage` object — <p>Defines the SCTE-35 <code>time_signal</code> message inserted around the ad.</p> <p>Programs on a channel's schedule can be configured with one or more ad breaks. You can attach a <code>splice_insert</code> SCTE-35 message to the ad break. This message provides basic metadata about the ad break.</p> <p>See section 9.7.4 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification for more information.</p>
      - `SegmentationDescriptors` SegmentationDescriptor[] — The configurations for the SCTE-35 <code>segmentation_descriptor</code> message(s) sent with the <code>time_signal</code> message.
        - `SegmentNum` integer — The segment number to assign to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.segment_num</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 0.
        - `SegmentationEventId` integer — The Event Identifier to assign to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_event_id</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. The default value is 1.
        - `SegmentationTypeId` integer — The Type Identifier to assign to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_type_id</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 48.
        - `SegmentationUpid` string — The Upid to assign to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_upid</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. The value must be a hexadecimal string containing only the characters 0 though 9 and A through F. The default value is "" (an empty string).
        - `SegmentationUpidType` integer — The Upid Type to assign to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.segmentation_upid_type</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 14.
        - `SegmentsExpected` integer — The number of segments expected, which is assigned to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.segments_expectedS</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The default value is 0.
        - `SubSegmentNum` integer — The sub-segment number to assign to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.sub_segment_num</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification. Values must be between 0 and 256, inclusive. The defualt value is null.
        - `SubSegmentsExpected` integer — The number of sub-segments expected, which is assigned to the <code>segmentation_descriptor.sub_segments_expected</code> message, as defined in section 10.3.3.1 of the 2022 SCTE-35 specification.
