Server-Guided Ad Insertion (SGAI)

SGAI is the modern approach to video ad insertion. The server tells the player when and where to insert ads using HLS interstitials, ensuring frame-accurate placement without rebuffering.

Unlike traditional SSAI that stitches ads into the manifest, SGAI keeps content and ads separate. This enables personalized ads, better analytics, and easier debugging.

Ad integration is complex. Use the Test Adserver to generate VAST and VMAP responses without connecting to a real ad network. Validate your SSAI stitching and tracking before going live.

The Test Adserver UI provides a visual interface to manage test sessions, generate ads on demand, and analyze tracking beacons in real-time.
