PlacementOpportunityGroupType is an extension of the CableLabs 3 AssetType. Implementers which do not deal with CableLabs Assets may safely ignore this type. Optional placement opportunity temporal contraints to evaluate to determine if this PO Group should be applied. The startDateTime and endDateTime attributes of the Placement Opportunity Group Asset and any temporal contraints on the POGroupRef (see CONTENT schema) must be passed prior to evaluating these temporal constraints. In addition to the attributes defined, a constrint may include additional, custom attributes as needed by the application. Optional placement opportunity association rules to determine if this PO Group shuold be applied in combination with other constraints (see PlacementOpportunityTemporalContraints). A rule should evalute to TRUE or FALSE. If more than one rule is specified the first rule returning a TRUE means the PO Group should be applied (logical OR operation applies). One or more PO Point elements. One or more PO Region elements. Container for a collection of placement opportunities. PlacementOpportunityGroup can contain one or more placement opportunities associated to signal points and/or regiions. GroupOfPlacementOpportunityGroupsType is an extension of the CableLabs 3 AssetType. Implementers which do not deal with CableLabs Assets may safely ignore this type. One or more POGroup Linkages can be specifiied. Only ONE of the POGroupRef SHOULD be applicable at any given time. One or more refences to PO Groups to be defined as a group. Optional placement opportunity association rules to determine if this PO Group shuold be applied in combination with other constraints (see PlacementOpportunityTemporalContraints). A rule should evalute to TRUE or FALSE. If more than one rule is specified the first rule returning a TRUE means the PO Group should be applied (logical OR operation applies). Container for a group of placement opportunity groups. PlacementOpportunityGroups can contain one or more PlacementOpportunityGroup elements associated to signal points and/or regiions. ContentPOGroupsLinkageType is an extension of the CableLabs 3 AssetType. Implementers which do not deal with CableLabs Assets may safely ignore this type. Reference to a Content Asset the referenced GroupOfPlacementOpportunityGroups apply to. Optional placement opportunity association rules to determine if this linkage shuold be applied in combination with other constraints (see PlacementOpportunityTemporalContraints). A rule should evalute to TRUE or FALSE. If more than one rule is specified the first rule returning a TRUE means the PO Group should be applied (logical OR operation applies). Reference to a GroupOfPlacementOpportunityGroup Asset to assoicate with the Content asset.. Container to create a linkage between a given Content Asset and a Group of PO Groups. A pointer to the signal point identified by signalPointId or an AlternateId for a point. NOTE: Two or more PlacementOpportunityPoints can reference the same SignalPointRef. If so, the order attribute specifies the order of interpretation/processing. Fully expressed signal point. A point of interest. A pointer to the signal region identified by signalRegiond or AlternateId for a region. NOTE: Two or more PlacementOpportunityRegions can reference the same SignalRegionRef. If so, the order attribute specifies the order of interpretation/processing. Fully expressed signal region. A region of interest. A description for the Placement Opportunity Optional rule to direct how PlacementOpportunity ownership is derived. Optional rule to direct how two or more PlacementOpportunities are dealt with as a set. Identifier for this entity. Use core:AssetRefType when referencing a PlacementOpportunityID. Type of PlacementOpportunity Linear Video Ad Types - pre-roll, mid-roll, post-roll, interstitial, slate, black, bumper or promotional - use mid-roll for an advertisement in a live program - use one or more bumper opportunties to support placing specialized content that is not an advertisesment, promotion or other type of content. To select the specific bumper to place content in use the other positional attributes as selectors (qualifers). A typical use case is to place a bumper at the start and end of a group of placement opportunities for children's content. To place content in the first bumper position qualify the placement with a typeOfPlacementOpportunity of "bumper" and isFirst equals "true". To place content in the last bumper position qualify the placement with a typeOfPlacementOpportunity of "bumper" and isLast equals "true". - private: should be used for private extensions Placement Opportunity group index allows one or more Placement Opportunity Points or Regions to be associated via a common identifier. Typically this applies to a group of opportunities that point at the same point or region of interest. Numbers should start at 1 and increment for each successive group. (poGroupIndex is NOT associated with the PlacementOpportunityGroup. The order in which PlacementOpportunityGroups are addressed is in the core:EffectiveAssetRefType. The order, lowest to highest, in which to process PlacementOpportunities. In some cases, 2 or more PlacementOpportunities can be applied to the same point or region. If poGroupIndex is specified this applies to the order within the group. The provider-supplied version number for the Placement Opportunity. Should be incremented each time the Placement Opportunity is changed by the provider. The internal version number for the Placement Opportunity. This version number should be set to 0 by the provider whenever providerVersionNum is changed. Likewise, this version number should be increased when internal variants of the Placement Opportunity are generated. Zero, one or more trick mode restrictions. The advertisements, one or more, must match the duration of the placement opportunity. The number of advertisements is constrained by fillStrategy. The valid values for fixedDuration are: - TRUE – Must match the duration as defined by: maxDuration, if present, OR by the duration defined by the underlying signal region. minDuration, if present, MUST be ignored. - FALSE – Sum of the duration of placed advertisements must fall within the defined duration range. The duration range is constrained by: - minDuration only – Sum of duration MUST be equal to or greater than minDuration - maxDuration only – Sum of duration MUST be equal to or less than maxDuration - minDuration and maxDuration – Sum of duration MUST be equal to or greater than minDuration and less then or equal to maxDuration minDuration – defines minimum sum of duration of advertisements placed. Any test would be greater than or equal to the minDuration value. minDuration MUST be less than maxDuration, if present. maxDuration – defines the duration if fixedDuration is TRUE OR the maximum sum of duration of advertisements placed. Any test would be less than or equal to the value. maxDuration MUST be greater than minDuration, if present. For a fillStrategy of "multiple", an optional contraint on the maximum number of placements to make. If omitted there is no constraint on the number of placements that can fit within the specified within the duration constraints. For example, for a count of 2, zero, 1 or 2 placements are allowed. fillStrategy – defines the fill strategy. Valid values: - single – only one advertisement can be placed (ECN 14.xxx - changed "MUST" to "can") - multiple – one or more advertisements can be placed - delete - in the absence of any other placement opportunities defined and filled for a given region of interest, directs the placement system to delete the underlying content (ex. advertisement) within the region of interest. That is, if no placements are made skip over the underlying content. - fixed - in the absence of any other placement opportunities defined and filled for a given region of interest, directs the placement system to keep the underlying content (ex. baked in advertisements). (ECN 14.xxx - added fixed) - private:* - a private fill strategy is applied in selecting advertisements to place This is a derived value that is set to TRUE if this is the first Placement Opportunity within a region. The derivation of isFirst will be constrained based to the type of the placement opportunity. For example, a given group of POs may be comprised of: bumper, mid-roll,mid-roll,mid-roll,bumper. When evaluating the first bumper, isFirst will return TRUE. When evaluating the first mid-roll, isFirst will return TRUE. (ECN 14.xxx - added clarification) This is a derived value that is set to TRUE if this is the last Placement Opportunity within a region. The same derivation constraints that apply to isFirst will be applied to isLast.For example, a given group of POs may be comprised of: bumper, mid-roll,mid-roll,mid-roll,bumper. When evaluating the last bumper, isLast will return TRUE. When evaluating the last mid-roll, isLast will return TRUE. (ECN 14.xxx - added clarification)
