VOD/Livestream Pre-roll Messaging

Automated Preroll Messaging lets you play short videos (perfect for underwriting acknowledgments) before your on-demand content, on your website, embedded Cablecast players, and Over-the-Top (OTT) and mobile streaming apps. Simply create a playlist of sponsor messages in Cablecast, and the system handles playback before each video. No code or special setup is required. It’s an easy, low-maintenance way to extend your underwriting strategy online, with built-in playback reporting and zero development work.
