Fixing the Streaming Video Ad Problems (March)
Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 10:00am (PT)
As OTT has matured, so too have the monetization models. Making money from OTT is no longer just about subscriptions. Advertising is playing a bigger role, especially as many platforms experiment with advertising-supported offerings. But as advertisers embrace streaming, as the broadcast ad dollars begin to shift to OTT in larger amounts, numerous technical issues have been revealed. For example, how does SCTE-35 translate from broadcast to streaming? How can ad effectiveness be measured? What impact does the QoS of advertising delivery have on viewer QoE? How can ads be tailored to individual users? In this webinar, we’ll explore the technical issues and technologies associated with delivering ad experiences in streaming video.
