VAST Ads Format Types
In the interface, it is possible to create ads to serve advertisements in a video player that supports VAST.
These ads have a rich media format that does not require any type of programming. On the contrary, they are directly uploaded to a rich media campaign.
The available type of formats are as follows:
Linear Ads
From the ad server, select the linear format + the video format, and also indicate whether it has a format companion or not.
Video Player - linear FLV |
Once on the player’s platform, you will be able to configure whether the format will be:
- Pre-roll
The ad is presented before the content video, inside the player. View example
- Mid-roll
The ad is presented during the player’s content video. View example
- Post-roll
The ad is presented after the player’s content video. View example
Non-linear Ads
From the ad server, select the non-linear format + the format of the creative. Also indicate whether it has a companion or not.
Video Player - non-linear GIF |
In the player’s platform, configure whether an overlay or a companion banner will be displayed.
- Docking Layers/Overlay Banner
The ad is served at the same time of the content video, so that users visualize it (over the video) while they watch the content movie. View example
- Companion
The ad is served at the same time of the content video, so that users visualize it while they watch the content movie. The companion banner is displayed outside the player. View example
