Q.
How do campaigns differ from presentations and playlists?
A.
They are fundamentally different.
•
Before playback can start for a presentation or playlist, you must target DMPgroups and reserve
timeslots for playback.
•
After a reserved timeslot has elapsed, you can verify whether playback occurred as scheduled
for its programming.
Q.
Are campaigns required in proof of play?
A.
No. Campaigns are just one of three supported report types. You can also obtain proof of play reports
per DMP or per DMP group.
Q.
Can I associate one asset with multiple campaigns?
A.
Yes.
Q.
What triggers universal proof of play auditing for an asset?
A.
There are two scenarios in which we validate each instance of playback for an asset.
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 campaign.
Scenario Details Exceptions
Your campaigns already include
all presentations and playlists that
use the asset.
In this case, because you have
not used the asset anywhere
outside of a campaign, we
verify its every instance of
playback.
This universal verification
becomes conditional when you
use the asset anywhere outside
a campaign.
You added the asset explicitly to
acampaign.
In this case, we audit playback
for this asset no matter how or
when you play it, or in what
context.
When you play it as just one
part of a presentation or
playlist that is not—in its own
right—part of any campaign:
•
We do not verify playback
for the playlist as a whole.
•
We do not verify playback
for any other assets than
the one that you audit
explicitly.
