SeaChange International and Invidi Technologies have developed a joint software solution enabling video service providers to coordinate multi-screen television ad campaigns across traditional linear, linear addressable, video-on-demand, catch-up, network DVR, and over-the-top (OTT) streams.
Deployable on-premise or in the cloud, the SeaChange-Invidi Cross-Platform Campaign Management Solution integrates the SeaChange Infusion advanced advertising software platform and the Invidi Advatar addressable advertising system.
The integrated product performs advertising insertion into linear addressable, video-on-demand and OTT content on any consumer device. The system conforms to common standards and specifications, including SCTE 130 and IAB VAST 3.0.
It relies on a single ad decision server (ADS) to enable impression-based campaign scheduling, reporting and real-time in-flight analytics and targeting. Deep analyses of impression-based campaign data serve as the driver behind campaign optimization and refined targeting.

- Infusion Ad Decision Manager, Ad Decision Router and Linear Ad Decision Server

- Infusion Spot Manager for end-to-end system monitoring
- Infusion Reports Manager

Dave Downey, president and CEO, Invidi Technologies, said, “The combined solution marks the end of advertising campaigns limited by the constraints of specific media types and the beginning of a single approach to all addressable television advertising including linear addressable, VOD, and OTT. While the relationship is non-exclusive, the combined solution enables Invidi and SeaChange to provide customers a single, complete addressable advertising solution for linear, VOD and OTT.”
