AWS Elemental MediaTailor is a personalized and monetized service that scales server-side ad insertion.
The service enables you to:
- Serve targeted ads to viewers while maintaining broadcast quality in over-the-top (OTT) video applications.
- Track ad views for accurate ad reporting.
AWS Elemental MediaTailor offers important advances over traditional ad-tracking systems:
- Ads are better monetized, more consistent in video quality and resolution, and easier to manage across multi-platform environments.
- Ad workflow is simplified by allowing all IP-connected devices to render ads in the same way as they render other content.
- Advanced tracking of ad views, which further increases the monetization of content.
