Kollus Player provides a feature to display video ads and banner images before, during, or after video playback. This feature can be configured independently on a per-channel basis, allowing you to run differentiated ad strategies for each content group.

Note

• Account permissions: Trial accounts have restricted access to creating and editing player events.
• Latest version support: When using the latest version of Kollus Web Player, ads can be displayed even for content with Multi DRM applied.

Main event types

• Event on Play: A method where you directly specify the ad image or video URL, and manually control the display timing and whether skipping is allowed.
• VMAP (Video Multiple Ad Playlist): An XML-based standard ad specification that allows you to control the playback timing and order of multiple ads within a single video.
