Video Transcoding
Just drop the video and we'll transcode it in the background to different formats and bit rates. Common practice!
We support CTV platforms that often require video files in HLS or DASH format. AdGlare also works with SSAI vendors that may need a mezzanine file for high-resolution transcoding.
Geotargeting
Target ads to specific geographic locations, allowing you to reach users in certain countries, regions or cities.
AdGlare uses the high-precision IP to geolocation database from market leader MaxMind.
Real-Time Reports
Track your CTV campaigns in real time with detailed metrics — impressions, progress, completion rates, viewability, fill rates — all updated instantly so you see what's happening in real time.
Build your own custom metrics with personalized formulas. Track unique data points from your CTV platform using custom dimensions like device_model — log any of your CTV platform macros.
