Specify bitrate and media format

  • VAST responses may include multiple media files with varying bitrates and formats, with the SDK automatically selecting the optimal bitrate based on network conditions (500 kbit/s maximum for cellular and unlimited for WiFi).

  • Developers can customize preferred video formats and bitrates by utilizing an AdsRenderingSettings instance during Ads Manager initialization to specify desired settings like bitrate and MIME types.

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. 

function onAdsManagerLoaded(adsManagerLoadedEvent) {
  const adsRenderingSettings = new google.ima.AdsRenderingSettings();
  adsRenderingSettings.bitrate = 1024; //kbits
  adsRenderingSettings.mimeTypes = [ 'video/mp4', 'video/webm’ ];
  adsManager = adsManagerLoadedEvent.getAdsManager(
      videoContent, adsRenderingSettings);
  ...
}
