Advertisement: Ad rolls definition

NOTE - THIS IS A BETA FEATURE - DEVELOPMENT IS ONGOING TO TAKE THIS TO A PRODUCTION FEATURE

Different kinds of ad rolls can be used. Here’s a description of each one:

Preroll:

  • This type can be used for all kinds of assets. A preroll is played before the asset.
  • Available settings for prerolls: ON/OFF, Web VAST-tag, Mobile VAST-tag

Midroll:

  • Midrolls can be used for VODs and Broadcasts. You have to add the number of seconds from the beginning of the asset to define when an ad should play.
  • Available settings for midrolls: ON/OFF, Web VAST-tag, Mobile VAST-tag, and Offsets.
  • Offset is the comma-separated list of seconds from the beginning when an ad should be played.

Post-roll

  • Ads that play after the asset ended.
  • Available settings for post rolls: ON/OFF, Web VAST-tag, and Mobile VAST-tag.

Intervalroll

  • An interval roll will play an advertisement after x amount of seconds, independent of the progress of the asset. Afterwards, playback will resume where interrupted.
  • On a linear channel, the user will get further away from the live point after each ad and can eventually miss content. We recommend using it only for Vods.
  • Available settings for interval rolls are: ON/OFF, Web VAST-tag, Mobile VAST-tag, Initial offset, and Interval between ads.
  • Initial offset is how many seconds after the user has started the asset the first ad should be played. The interval between ads is how many seconds should be between them.
