Chapter 21 Proof of Play
Reference
Q.
Can I associate one asset with multiple insertions?
A.
Yes.
Q.
What triggers universal proof of play auditing for an asset?
A.
There are two scenarios in which we validate each instance of playback for an asset.
Q.
What triggers conditional proof of play auditing for an asset?
A.
We might validate some instances of playback but not others. We cannot audit playback consistently
for an asset whose instances of playback occur sometimes outside any insertion.
Q.
What prevents proof of play auditing for an asset?
A.
We cannot validate instances of playback for an asset whose every instance of playback occurs
outside any insertion.
Q.
What are the implications for emergency events?
A.

Scenario Details Exceptions
Your insertions already include all
presentations and playlists that
use the asset.
In this case, because you have
not used the asset anywhere
outside of an insertion, we
verify its every instance of
playback.
This universal verification
becomes conditional when you
use the asset anywhere outside
an insertion.
You added the asset explicitly to
an insertion.
In this case, we audit playback
for this asset no matter how or
when you play it, or in what
context.
When you play it as just one
part of a presentation or
playlist that is notin its own
right—part of any insertion:
We do not verify playback
for the playlist as a whole.
We do not verify playback
for any other assets than
the one that you audit
explicitly.
