AdsEdge
Regional Ad Splicer
Combining both functions of an Ad Server and a Splicer, AdsEdge is a standard-based solution designed to insert Targeted Content of file-based content (Ads, News, Weather, etc.) for DTT or cable networks. It behaves as an Ad Server to store content and schedule files, and behaves as a deterministic Splicer to update the live stream upon reception of SCTE-35 triggers.
Highlights
Ad Server & Splicer in One Box
AdsEdge combines both functions of Ad Server and Splicer. It behaves as an Ad Server to store content files (Ads, News, etc.), schedule files and it also generates the reports. It behaves as a deterministic Splicer to update the live stream with dedicated content upon reception of triggers.
Deterministic Ad Insertion for DTT SFN Operations
AdsEdge perfoms deterministic content replacement in order to be compliant with terrestrial SFN broadcasting networks: bit-to-bit equivalent playlist insertion for each AdsEdge of the same SFN cell.
Ad Insertion for Statmux TV Multiplexes
Content insertion for both constant and variable bitrate (CBR/VBR), enabling insertion at the edge of the network. Real-time analysis is performed to insert the highest quality possible, based on the ABR technology.
Industry-standard SCTE Interfaces
Content insertion is based on deterministic playlist (SCTE-118-3) insertion into a live stream following a SCTE-35 trigger.
Available for Different TV Plaform Delivery
The solution is compatible with any terrestrial network, including DVB-T, DVB-T2, ISDB-T and is also efficient for cable networks.
STB or iDTV Receiver Agnostic
The content insertion does not modify audio and video content, ensuring compatibility with all DTV receivers and no service quality loss.
Applications
- Targeted Ad insertion in live TV service
- Regional based content insertion:
- Local TV news
- Local Weather forecast
- Sustainable TV program
Other Benefits
- Easy to deploy, easy to use
- Cost efficient : keep control of the costs while increasing the advertisement catalog and revenue generation
- Ensures viewers loyalty by matching viewers expactations
- Reduces environmental impact by mutualising TV distribution at the network’s edge
