Q.What triggers conditional proof of play auditing for an asset?

A.We might validate some instances of playback but not others. We cannot audit playback consistently for an asset whose instances of playback occur sometimes outside any insertion.

Q.What prevents proof of play auditing for an asset?

A.We cannot validate instances of playback for an asset whose every instance of playback occurs outside any insertion.

Q.What are the implications for emergency events?

A.See CSCtd23249
