AD CUE POINTS

An ad cue point marks a place in content where an advertising break can be considered or triggered by the surrounding monetization system.

The marker is tiny; the editorial decision behind its placement can matter a great deal.

What a cue point represents

A cue point is typically a timestamp or marker associated with a potential break in the content. What happens at that marker depends on the wider ad and playback workflow.

Placement needs context

A break placed in the middle of a sentence, scene or key sports moment can create a poor viewer experience. That is why visual review can matter.

Galxy Ad Cue Creator

Galxy Pro includes Ad Cue Creator, a tool for setting ad-break cue points within on-demand content. This site does not claim that the tool itself performs ad serving, ad decisioning or server-side ad insertion.
