Creating advertisement policies

You can use policies to control how advertising content is received by users. An advertisement policy defines the user experience by combining the following:

• Events. You can use an event to trigger a switch to a certain advertisement. For example, in a live broadcast stream, you can use an event to insert regional advertising in place of national advertising and vice versa.
• Playlist attributes. You can configure playlist attributes to control the user experience with advertising. For example, if you set the noSkip attribute to True, the fast-forward and seek controls on the user's player are disabled. For the user to continue to receive the content in the playlist, the advertisement must play to completion.
