How it works
Alongside the main content, ad insertion opportunities are defined in a playlist. This playlist is processed by Unified Remix, after which Unified Origin (just-in-time) or Unified Packager (static) generates a stream with splice points at each of these opportunities. A third-party ad insertion service then manipulates the manifest to insert ads into the stream at these splice points.
