Ad Playback Type "At a Specific Time"

In the "Announcements" section of the personal account, users now have the option to insert ads into the broadcast. One of the available insertion options is the type "At a Specific Time".
This insertion type allows the user to embed an ad into the broadcast at a specific time.

Operating Principle

First, the user needs to prepare a broadcast with a schedule so that they can later add ads at the end of the broadcast cycle.

The ability to create a broadcast and schedule can be found via the links:

• Schedule.
• Broadcasts.

Next, the user needs to log into their personal account and go to the "Announcements" section.

Example of the "Announcements" section in the personal account.

The next step is to select the "Create" category.

Example of the "Create" category in the "Announcements" section of the personal account.

After clicking on the create category, a window for creating an ad will open. In the process of creating an ad, the user needs to select a specific "Playback Type" so that the ad playback works at the end of the broadcast cycle. This playback option is "At a Specific Time".

Example of the "Playback Type" parameter when creating an ad.

Features of the "At a Specific Time" Ad Insertion

For the correct operation of this ad insertion type, it is necessary to fill in the following additional parameters:

• Ad playback frequency (you need to set the unit of measurement: hours, minutes, seconds)
• Ad start time
• Ad end time

Example of additional parameters.

Playback Types

There are three types of settings available in this parameter:

1. Between Broadcast Content - allows you to add an ad to the current broadcast schedule after the list of broadcast content has played
2. At a Specific Time - allows you to add an ad to the current broadcast schedule. During the ad playback, the current broadcast will be paused, and after the ad has fully played, the broadcast will resume from where it was paused. (this option is necessary).
3. Advertisers - allows you to add an ad to the current broadcast schedule. The ad will be replaced with fillers located in the selected broadcast time interval.
