Nimble Advertizer inserts video ads into RTMP and SLDP

Softvelum introduces Nimble Advertizer, the Server-Side Ads Insertion (SSAI) framework for Nimble Streamer. This framework allows dynamically insert personalized ads into live streaming content.

Advertizer key features are:
  • Pre-roll ads per each connection
  • Flexible timing setup for mid-roll ads
  • Per-stream ads insertion business logic
  • Personalized ads
We're glad to announce that we've added support for RTMP and SLDP output protocols in addition to previously added Icecast.

Nimble Advertizer may use all input live protocols supported by Nimble Streamer, they are Icecast and SHOUTcastRTMPRTSPSRTHLS and MPEG2TS.

Live input codec for live stream for ads insertion needs to be H.264. Notice that with our Live Transcoder you may also use other live codecs.

For your ads source files you need to use H.264 codec, the container needs to be the MP4 file.

As mentioned previously, output live stream protocols are RTMP and SLDP - both protocols are used for live low latency live streaming.

The workflow is easy to adopt within any business logic:
  1. Nimble Streamer media server processes incoming streams to get audio content
  2. Nimble Advertizer calls your handler web application to get business logic description
  3. Advertizer gets files with advertisements to process them via Nimble Streamer according to your logic defined via handler
  4. Nimble inserts the ads into original media and packages it into Icecast protocol
  5. End user connects to Nimble and gets audio stream containing original content mixed with advertisements
  6. Playback is running smooth regardless of ads insertion over time in any player which supports Icecast.
You can read full technical spec here.

Server-side Ads Insertion framework (Nimble Advertizer) is a premium functionality which requires additional payments. Please check this page to get more details about functionality and pricing.
