BarcodeTypes

A comma-separated list of the types of barcodes that might appear in the ingested media. The following types are available:

  • Codabar
  • Code-128
  • Code-39
  • Code-93
  • Datalogic 2/5
  • Data Matrix
  • EAN-13
  • EAN-2
  • EAN-5
  • EAN-8
  • I25
  • IATA 2/5
  • Industrial 2/5
  • Matrix 2/5
  • Patch Code
  • PDF417
  • QR
  • UPC-A
  • UPC-E

NOTE: EAN-2 and EAN-5 supplement other barcodes (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-E, and UPC-A). Media Server does not read EAN-2 and EAN-5 barcodes unless they appear alongside one of these types. For example, to read EAN-13 barcodes that have an EAN-2 supplement, set BarcodeTypes=EAN-13,EAN-2.

NOTE: Some types of barcode are a subset of other types.

  • UPC-A is a subset of EAN-13. If you configure Media Server to detect EAN-13 barcodes, Media Server returns all EAN-13 barcodes including UPC-A.
  • ISBN barcodes are a subset of EAN-13 that begin with 978 or 979, so you can detect ISBN barcodes by configuring Media Server to detect EAN-13 barcodes, but Media Server will also return EAN-13 barcodes than are not in the ISBN range.
  • GS1-128 barcodes (sometimes known as UCC/EAN-128) are a subset of Code-128 barcodes, so you can detect these using the Code-128 type.

Alternatively, you can set one of the following values to process multiple barcode types:

All All supported types.
All1D All one-dimensional types.
All2D All two-dimensional types.
Type: String (comma-separated list)
