VMAP - new placement profile
Online video ads have been growing in popularity over the past few months. With this in mind, the AdOcean team is exploring the possibilities for further development and improvement in this area.
In this release we introduce a new placement profile called VMAP.
With VMAP, video content owners can exercise control over the ad inventory displayed in their content when they can't control the video player. VMAP is designed to use VAST ad responses to supply ads for specified ad breaks but other ad serving templates can be used (provided that the player does not ignore non-VAST responses).
The new placement profile is available to be used in master-slave configuration and can be chosen from the list of profiles in the Placement data view.
