Klim DAI

Dynamic, Cloud-Native Targeted Ad Insertion

Klim DAI (Dynamic Ad Insertion) acts as the orchestrator between your encoding and packaging layers, natively leveraging Klim Transcode for SCTE-35 marker communications and Klim JIT for frame-accurate manifest manipulation.

What it means for your business

In plain words.

Klim DAI inserts adverts into your streams on the server side, so channels can carry advertising without relying on code in the viewer’s app.

Ads that are harder to block

Server-side insertion stitches ads into the stream, bypassing client-side ad-blockers.

Viewers keep watching

If an ad server times out or inventory is unfilled, Klim DAI falls back to content or localised slates.

Less integration work

Designed to work natively with Klim Transcode and Klim JIT rather than as a separate system to integrate.

Managed by KLIM IT is optional. With a self-managed deployment, your team runs the platform. If you want KLIM IT to operate it, agree the managed service scope and fee in the proposal. Deployment assistance, hosting and technical support are scoped explicitly; buying software does not mean handing over day-to-day operational responsibility.

Whether this lowers your total cost depends on your workload, licensing, existing infrastructure and the responsibilities we agree. We do not promise a fixed saving; we show you the scope so you can judge it. Features marked * on this page are in active testing and are not part of the business case.

Compare it with what you run today.

Put your current staffing, on-call arrangements, infrastructure, tooling and supplier contracts next to a scoped KLIM IT proposal. We will explain line by line what we take on, what stays with you, and what the monthly fee covers. If keeping it in-house is the better fit, the comparison will show that too.

Overview

DAI
by KLIM IT.

Klim DAI (Dynamic Ad Insertion) is a carrier-grade monetization engine designed to deliver targeted advertising experiences without compromising viewer stability. Acting as the intelligent orchestrator between your encoding and packaging layers, Klim DAI natively leverages Klim Transcode for precise SCTE-35 marker communications and Klim JIT for frame-accurate manifest manipulation.

Built on a cloud-native, API-first architecture, it can be deployed as a fully hands-off Managed Service or a Self-Managed platform.

Key benefits

Glitch-Free Viewing Experience

Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) ensures transitions between main content and ads are seamless, bypassing client-side ad-blockers.

Deep Ecosystem Synergy

Built to natively interlock with Klim Transcode and Klim JIT Packager, eliminating the integration friction usually associated with DAI workflows.

Always-On Stability

Engineered for high-availability. If an ad server times out or inventory is unfilled, Klim DAI instantaneously falls back to underlying content or localized slates.
