Elemental TV Non-Linear Ads — CTV ads outside the ad break

Elemental TV Non-Linear Ads — CTV ads outside the ad break

Anton Tkachuk··1 min read

Elemental TV now supports the five IAB non-linear CTV ad formats — Pause, Screensaver, Overlay, Squeezeback and In-Scene — end to end. Advertisers run them from the Elemental TV DSP, programmatic partners transact them with ratified signaling, and non-linear stays opt-in by design — nothing serves where it was not explicitly allowed.

What you can do

  • Set up — Non-Linear Image and Non-Linear Video creatives, configured per format, with allowed positions and playback methods controlled per creative.
  • Target — campaigns target placement and position with the full ratified value sets.
  • Deliver — validated NonLinearAds VAST (image or video), signaling echoed for player verification, partner tracking preserved verbatim.
  • Scale — the Ad Server accepts non-linear bids from connected programmatic demand and validates every response against the request.

For publishers

Your player renders the format; we bring validated demand. Send linearity=2 with plcmt and pos on your video bid requests — that is the whole signaling change.

What's next

Menu and tile placements via the Native API, deeper SIMID interactivity, and automated creative pipelines on the upload API.
