Definition

Client-side Ad Insertion (CSAI) is a client-side technology that enables publishers to insert video ads, typically targeted to an individual or household, into live linear programming and video on demand content. CSAI does this by fetching ads from one or more ad servers and sequencing those ads with the video content on the video playback device, web page or app.
