Ad insertion resolves ads for video-on-demand (VOD) , for live streaming, and for linear streaming with ad tracking and ad playback. Browser TVSDK makes the required requests to the ad server, receives information about ads for the specified content, and places the ads in the content in phases.

An ad break contains one or more ads that play in sequence. Browser TVSDK inserts ads in the main content as members of one or more ad breaks.
