Channel & break review
Assess clocks, cueing, break duration, content boundaries and device playback constraints.
FAST & CSAI
Turn a linear stream into reliable ad inventory.
Friendship 4 U helps FAST channel owners prepare, connect and operate client-side advertising—combining channel knowledge, player integration and disciplined ad operations.
Operational by design
A break is only valuable when it works end to end.
Reliable CSAI depends on more than inserting an ad tag. The channel schedule, break signal, player request, creative, fallback and measurement all need to agree—across devices and regions.
- Break opportunity and ad-pod planning
- Player-side VAST and VMAP call support
- Creative format and duration governance
- Fallback, timeout and no-fill behaviour
- Cross-device playback and tracking QA
