Los-Angeles based OTTera, a white label OTT service that manages more than 55 branded OTT services and over 90 channels around the world, will now be able to offer more detailed video data to advertisers, in turn benefiting their ad-supported streaming CTV channels. IRIS.TV’s innovative technology enables analysis of and contextual segmentation of individual videos for audio and visual cues across OTTera’s client libraries, yielding better insights and performance for advertisers and enhanced relevance for viewers.
IRIS.TV simplifies the complexity and fragmentation of the video ecosystem across CTV and premium digital video, providing access, for the first time, to video-level data. Before IRIS.TV, contextual and brand-safety data for videos was only available by analyzing the text on a web page and was impossible for CTV. Now, marketers can “think inside the video” with the transparency to confidently buy CTV and premium video inventory based on video-level contextual and brand-safety analysis and according to the specific topical nature of each video.
