Ad Insertion
Faster-Than-Real-Time Ad Insertion using ASICs
Many streaming video service providers deploy ads as part of their monetization strategy. To implement this strategy, service providers are typically utilizing dynamic ad insertion to manage the placement of advertising in their content.
With the explosive growth of streaming content, service providers have embraced ASIC-based hardware encoding as an alternative to CPU/software encoding due to its ability to efficiently scale while minimizing both TCO and reducing the encode time required for advertising content. Ad insertion services are under the same pressures to adapt to growing demand and must also look to new ASIC encoding solutions that enable faster-than-real-time performance to optimize profitability.
DEPLOY NETINT CODENSITY™ - ASIC-BASED TECHNOLOGY
Faster-Than-Real-Time Ad Insertion Workflow
Ad Insertion services require the flexibility enabled through faster-than-real-time video encoding to encode ads into the required format dynamically. For the faster-than-real-time performance at scale, Ad Insertion services are turning to ASIC-based hardware encoding, which also enables a 10x increase in encoding density with a 20x improvement in TCO and environmental footprint.
Dynamic Ad Insertion Workflow
Next-generation ASIC-based hardware encoders, including the NETINT T408 and T432, are at the forefront of this transition, with their ultra high-density encoding capabilities, low power consumption, and faster-than-real-time, low-latency, HEVC, and H.264 codec support.
