QuickPlay Media delivers dynamic ad insertion for live TVTORONTO --(Business Wire)-- QuickPlay Media, the leading provider of cloud-based managed service solutions for the distribution of premium media to IP connected devices, today announced the launch of its dynamic ad insertion (DAI) capabilities for its live linear TV solution. QuickPlay collaborated with Yospace, a content distribution innovator, to deliver a pre-integrated platform designed to splice ads into linear TV streams across iOS and Android (News - Alert) tablets and smartphones. The solution bolsters QuickPlay's current national advertising capabilities with an advanced ad solution that enables service providers to further monetize content with TV Everywhere offerings integrating data from leading advertising engines and partners, including DoubleClick (News - Alert) and FreeWheel. The solution, currently being deployed for one of North America's leading IPTV providers, brings 1:1 advertising to linear broadcast across connected devices. Operators will now have the ability to customize ads and serve up user targeted ad insertion further supported by reporting and analytics. Subsequently, for content providers, DAI allows a better user experience by enabling the capabilities to deploy relevant ads to a mass audience base, and allows service providers to increase the value of their ad inventory. "Having pioneered this market a decade ago, QuicPlay understands the need for service providers to continue to innovate and monetize TV Everywhere offerings. It is more important than ever that QuickPlay is able to support customers in further leveraging their PAY TV investments with dynamic ad insertion," said Wayne Purboo, CEO of QuickPlay Media (News - Alert).

QuickPlay's collaboration with Yospace (News - Alert) for Dynamic Ad Insertion is a further validation of our market leading technology." said Tim Sewell, CEO, Yospace.
