VAST PLUGIN PRO
Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) is a standardized protocol for delivering in-stream ads from video ad servers to different kinds of video players. The project introduced by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) is comprised of over 180 member companies actively engaged in the creation and execution of digital video advertising. This includes Google & YouTube, Brightcove, CBS, NBC, New York Times, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Weather.com, to name only a few.
Most video players with VAST support are focused on playing inline video ads, most often single pre-roll video. Only few commercial players can utilize more of VAST advertising potential, though in fact none was able to show all of our 100% valid VAST examples.

This includes support for VMAP protocol, nonlinear ads, vast icons, vast companions, sequential ad pods, oustream video ads and non-Vast (javascript based) ads. This makes our VAST advertising solution one of the most advanced on the market!
