smartclip and Fraunhofer FOKUS demonstrate technology solution for the dynamic integration of digital video advertising in classic linear TV content


(Cision Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) September 02, 2014, Berlin/Hamburg – At this year's IFA (Sep. 5-10 in Berlin), dmexco (Sep. 10-11 in Cologne), and IBC (Sep. 11-15 in Amsterdam), Fraunhofer FOKUS, an independent research body, and smartclip, the leading marketing platform for multiscreen digital video advertising, will demonstrate a novel technology solution for advertising scenarios in the increasingly convergent TV and Internet advertising markets.



As part of a showcase presentation, the partners will show how video content can be delivered across a multitude of devices and platforms via DVB, HbbTV, and DASH. A special highlight is the dynamic integration of digital video advertising, which can be integrated in real time, in both classic linear and on-demand TV content. Through the integration of features of the HbbTV 2.0 standard, the technology supports second screen functionality and links video elements and inserted advertising via the HbbTV technology standard.

With this technology, digital advertising content can be presented on the large TV screen, but now with all the advantages of online advertising. This functionality opens additional features to advertisers, such as frequency capping, targeting, and reporting of relevant KPIs (viewing, single contacts, etc.). In addition, ad server -based TV marketing enables pan-device, context sensitive distribution over all the user's video channels. By supporting the HbbTV standard, as well as MPEG-DASH, devices from both worlds can be reached from one Web -based management interface. HbbTV is available on Connected TVs and MPEG-DASH playback only requires an HTML5 browser (desktop, smartphone, tablet etc.).


"Our FAMIUM Multiscreen Advertisement solution provides new, more flexible marketing options, especially for small special-interest and local stations," says Dr. Stefan Arbanowski, director of the competence center "Future Applications and Media" at Fraunhofer FOKUS. "They don't have to run advertising automatically any more, but instead can play it on demand or link it with a campaign. For example, when a product is on sale for a certain time in a specific region. Users can make the purchases directly on their smartphones. " Ricky McClellen, Chief Technology Officer at smartclip, adds: "The possibility to integrate advertising dynamically in both traditional linear broadcast and on-demand video makes it possible for content providers to deliver advertising exactly when the right target audience is watching TV. This advertising can now be delivered using our SmartX Platform, the same real-time programmatic optimization technology leveraged by the digital markets across PCs, game consoles, tablets, mobile devices and Connected TVs. The ongoing evolution of digital distribution technologies across all screens and all types of delivery is part of smartclip's DNA—just like promoting the media and broadcasting solutions of the future." In a joint proof of concept implementation, Fraunhofer FOKUS and smartclip evaluated the technical realization of solutions for addressable TVs. First co-operations with TV stations have already been started in Germany. As a technology specialist for video advertising, smartclip has developed new distribution channels for brand advertising since its founding, helping to define the future of TV advertising. smartclip has carried out campaigns on smart TVs since 2009 and represents leading manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, Philips, and others throughout Europe.
