Utilize CLEAR® AI to:

  • Harness the power of multi-modal AI analysis and Machine Wisdom technology to discover scenes, segments, and in-content metadata.
  • Automatically identify the best potential ad break opportunities within your content, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
  • Efficiently manage your content distribution by accessing predefined ad break policies tailored for various FAST/AVOD platforms and automatically exporting ad break markers that align with platform requirements.
