Video advertising is still one of the leading approaches with which content and service providers can monetize video content. Combine that with the common-sense approach of using open standards and surprisingly you find yourself facing a problem. This paper presents the two main open standards for providing dynamic video advertising are SCTE-130 and IAB VAST. But, SCTE was developed with Service Providers and traditional North American broadcast cable in mind and IAB VAST was developed for web-based advertising. Neither of these advertising standards options is ideal for the entire range of devices. This paper presents a novel VAST server-side solution where a video streaming server acts as a VAST client fronting the client device, and merges the main video and the advertising returned from a VAST server into a single video stream. This solution combines the advantages from both options above and thus allows ad and content providers to address the full set of devices with a single platform to operate.
