The ad server is built on the following core components.





ComponentSummary
CreativesCreatives represent the ad source. The ad server supports common formats, such as third-party tags, hosted media, or a connection to a demand partner.
Targeting rulesTargeting rules determine where and to whom a creative can be shown.
Line itemsLine items link creatives with targeting rules and apply auction settings, such as priority, pricing, and scheduling.

When the player is loaded, the ad server completes the following steps to ensure each ad slot is filled with the most relevant advertising:

  1. Retrieve all eligible line items for the session based on the targeting rules and line item configuration.
  2. Run an auction to determine which line item to deliver.
  3. Deliver the creative of the winning line item to the player.
