Ad formats

Ad breaks have been the standard format for ad delivery since the start of TV. Video service providers are looking for alternative ad formats to improve engagement. Overlay ads, which are typically displayed on top of the content being watched, are a promising addition. When implemented thoughtfully, overlay ads can improve viewer engagement and the overall viewing experience.

Codecs and ad-insertion

Video codecs are an important part of ad insertion. By choosing the right codec for the specific ad insertion method employed, video providers can ensure that ads are more efficient, optimized, and intelligent. We reimagined our core codec SDKs to enable a variety of ad enhancements and feature options. Whether using AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265 or VVC/H.266, MainConcept’s codec SDKs can be deployed in your workflow to deliver next-level advertising.
