Specify bitrate and media format

  • VAST responses can contain multiple media files with different bitrates and formats.

  • The SDK automatically selects the appropriate bitrate based on network conditions, limiting cellular connections to 500 kbit/s while allowing unlimited on WiFi.

  • You can specify preferred video formats and bitrates using an AdsRenderingSettings instance during Ads Manager initialization.
Select platform: HTML5 Android iOS tvOS

VAST responses can contain multiple media files with different bitrates and in different formats. The SDK chooses the appropriate bitrate based on the current network conditions:

  • max 500 kbit/s for cellular connection
  • unlimited for WiFi

If you want to specify preferred video formats and bitrate, use an AdsRenderingSettings instance to pass this information at the time of Ads Manager initialization. 

@Override
    public void onAdsManagerLoaded(AdsManagerLoadedEvent adsManagerLoadedEvent) {
      ...
      AdsRenderingSettings adsRenderingSettings =
          ImaSdkFactory.getInstance().createAdsRenderingSettings();
      List mimeTypes = new ArrayList();
      mimeTypes.add("video/mp4");
      mimeTypes.add("video/webm");
      adsRenderingSettings.setBitrateKbps(1024);
      adsRenderingSettings.setMimeTypes(mimeTypes);
      mAdsManager.init(adsRenderingSettings);
    }
