Brightcove Live Jobs API

Operations for creating live jobs, listing live jobs, getting job details, and canceling live jobs. There are also operations for activating and deactivating SEP jobs, scheduling activation and deactivation of SEP jobs, and for inserting cuepoints or ID3 timed metadata. Notes: -Live outputs are VBR. -The average video bitrate should be around the target value, but there can be brief periods when the measured video bitrate exceeds that target.
