SegmentDuration

The maximum duration of a record in the SegmentedResult track.

Media Server does not generate records in the Result track until an event has finished, because each record represents a complete event. The maximum duration of a record in the SegmentedResult track is limited to the value of this parameter, so this track provides a way to obtain results sooner but with similar accuracy to a Result track. When a record reaches the maximum duration, Media Server outputs the record and begins a new one with the same ID. This means that for every record in the Result track that exceeds the maximum duration, there will be two or more records in the SegmentedResult track.

Segmented results are useful when you want to obtain information about events before they finish. For more information about the tracks that are produced by analysis engines, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide.
