The percentage of live server-side ad session time during which ad slates played instead of ads. This metric is only relevant for server-side inserted ads on live streams.
In the Analysis dashboard, this metric shows the percentage of total planned ad duration in which slates played in the current interval. An increasing or higher percentage indicates that more ad time was consumed by slates and potential ad revenue loss occurred.
You can use MetricLens dimensions, such as content asset name or ad break Id, for further analysis.
A high slate duration may be a symptom of the following issues:
- The ad server (e.g. Freewheel) is misconfigured and unable to provide the required ads or find matching ad creatives.
- The publisher does not have enough ads and hence is forced to fill ad gaps with slates.
- Ad scheduling may leave unexpected gaps in ad sessions.
