Everything you need to debug a VAST tag

Full compliance check

Validates VAST 2.0–4.2 & VMAP structure, media files, durations, tracking, wrappers and more against the IAB spec — with clear pass, warning and fix guidance.

Live playback preview

See exactly how the creative renders. The player loads the selected media file and plays it back so you can spot black frames, wrong assets or bad transcodes.

Real-time event log

Watch impressions, quartiles, clicks and errors fire live with timestamps and the exact tracking URL pinged — the fastest way to prove measurement works.

Ad pod & wrapper view

Multiple ads in a pod? Each gets its own tab with sequence order. Wrapper chains are unrolled so you always know where media and tracking really live.

You've validated the tag. Now monetize it.

Ad Insertion (SSAI)

  • 100% of your ad revenue — technology fee only, no revenue share on the ads you serve
  • Insertion inside the CDN — no separate SSAI vendor, no extra
    network hop
  • Ad-blocker resistant — ads stitched into the stream can't be detected and stripped client-side
  • Server-side ad tracking — impression, quartile and complete events fire from the server, with a full event log per VAST URL
  • Works on every device — Smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, set-top boxes, anything that plays HLS

Ad Manager

  • No third-party ad server needed — skip the approval gate and the programmatic middlemen
  • VAST tags on demand — turn configured inventory into a VAST 3.0+ compliant tag that plugs into ad insertion or any compliant player
  • Built to pair with Ad Insertion — the tag feeds straight into 5centsCDN SSAI, no integration between separate vendors
  • Keep more of your revenue — on direct deals, no exchange take rate; 5centsCDN charges a flat technology fee
  • Advanced reporting — break performance down by advertiser, campaign, creative, fill and completion
