The new solution supports overlays, L-shapes, picture-in-picture, underlays, and sponsorships—stitched server-side for a smooth, buffer-free experience—while G-Mana Ad Solutions optimizes fill, pricing, and yield across direct and programmatic demand.
"Interactive SSAI turns passive ad breaks into two-way, screen-native experiences—without compromising stream quality," said Eran Yahalomi, CEO, G-Mana. "Together with VisualOn, we've made it turnkey for broadcasters, sports streamers, and FAST operators to grow revenue, improve viewer experience, and gain real-time transparency—all in one workflow."
"Publishers want interactivity without trade-offs," said Yang Cai, CEO and President, VisualOn. "Our integration with G-Mana's SSAI gives customers a single, scalable pathway to deploy interactive ad formats at the quality levels audiences expect from premium streaming."
