Implements header bidding for Radiant Media Player through Prebid.js.
Header Bidding (also known as header auctions, parallel bidding, or header bidding) is a technique that involves running SSP and Ad Exchange code directly on page so publishers can receive bids on their inventory that may be unavailable through their primary ad server and exchange.
The returned bids are then passed into the ad server so they can compete with direct demand and the primary ad server's exchange on a level playing field. More information on the subject can be found here and here.
Before using a specific Prebid bidder, make sure that it supports video ad format.
In this repository, we will show how to set up Prebid.js with Radiant Media Player to show instream video ads, outstream video ads and ad-scheduling (pre/mid/post roll) with Prebid.js. Code in this repository has been written with Radiant Media Player 9.2.0 and Prebid.js 7.45.0.
