  - `data` StaticRendition, required
    - `name` 'low.mp4' | 'medium.mp4' | 'high.mp4' | 'highest.mp4' | 'audio.m4a' | 'capped-1080p.mp4' | '2160p.mp4' | '1440p.mp4' | '1080p.mp4' | '720p.mp4' | '540p.mp4' | '480p.mp4' | '360p.mp4' | '270p.mp4' — Name of the static rendition file
    - `ext` 'mp4' | 'm4a' — Extension of the static rendition file
    - `height` integer — The height of the static rendition's file in pixels
    - `width` integer — The width of the static rendition's file in pixels
