This static webpage simplifies testing and experimenting with HLS and MPEG-DASH output from Amazon Kinesis video stream. The example page provides input fields for the following parameters:
+
+  * AWS Region: The Region where your Kinesis video stream is located
+
+  * Stream name: The name of your Kinesis video stream
+
+  * Playback mode: The HLS playback mode (LIVE, LIVE_REPLAY, or ON_DEMAND)
+
+  * Fragment selector type: The method used to select fragments (SERVER_TIMESTAMP or PRODUCER_TIMESTAMP)
+
+  * Fragment number: The starting fragment number (when applicable)
+
+  * Container format: The format of the media container (FRAGMENTED_MP4 or MPEG_TS)
+
+
+
