Ad break

To learn more about the general ad break process, please click here.

Ad breaks (or commercial breaks) can be inserted into slots at different positions. All commercial breaks that are created in the Scheme can be taken over to the events in the Programmer.

Commercial breaks (ad breaks) are displayed with coding, title, number, duration, and ad break type. They can contain non-commercial elements (= short commercial separators) which serve to shape the change-over from the commercial breaks to the program and back.

The Scheme displays commercial breaks as small colored rectangles within the slots. In the Planner, however, they represent an individual hierarchy level into which the ad sales (=commercial spots) are scheduled.

All scheduled ad breaks are displayed in the Planner with code, name or category. If a scheduled event is separated by an ad break, both separated events are displayed individually together with the ad breaks. The ad breaks represent a hierarchy level in the Planner and can only the filled (scheduled) with commercials and commercial versions.
