Specifying bitrate and video format

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);
  ...
}
