Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Implementation of Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) to stitch targeted ads directly into the video stream, preventing ad-blockers and ensuring TV-like seamless playback.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"The backbone of AVOD (Ad-supported VOD). Client-side ads (pausing video to load an ad) cause buffering and user churn. SSAI makes the ad indistinguishable from the content stream, securing revenue and experience."

warning The Challenge

Streaming ads often buffered, played at different volumes, or crashed the player. Ad-blockers could easily strip them out. This degraded the user experience and lost revenue for the broadcaster. Delivering personalized ads to millions of concurrent viewers (e.g., Super Bowl) broke traditional ad servers.

psychology The Solution

Deployed AWS MediaTailor. The service transcodes ads to match the bitrate/resolution of the content. It stitches them into the video manifest on the server side before it reaches the user. To the device, it looks like one continuous video stream. It handles the high-scale personalization requests.
