Takes and media

Media on Denpa is a signal channel, not a file player. Every asset knows which market or signal it belongs to.

MediaAsset {
  mediaAssetId, creatorUserId,
  marketId?, signalId?,
  type: live | clip | vod | text | image | audio,
  provider: cloudflare | mux | upload | external,
  hlsUrl | playbackUrl, thumbnail, duration, viewCount, createdAt
}

Kinds

Kind	How it gets there
Live stream	bound to a market with POST /api/m/[id]/streams; HLS only
Clip	MARK ▸ 30s on a live page (POST /api/live/[handle]/clip, Mux clip, cooldown 120s, 10/day)
Upload	denpa.ai/upload, market-bound; requires a claimed handle
Text take	a line attached to a signal via signal_events

Rules

• A take is more valuable when attached to a signal. Media strengthens the operator’s field record.
• Do not let media become disconnected from markets and signals unless intentionally general.
• Uploaded and bound media are governed by denpa.ai/terms: users warrant they hold the rights, disclose AI tools used, and grant a broadcast licence; Denpa may remove content and revoke broadcast access.
• Tapes federate: GET /api/network/tapes merges every station’s clips, origin-labelled.
