    Kiptronic Adds Advertising Insertion For Video

    Advertising insertion service provider Kiptronic has announced support for dynamic ad insertion and campaign management for video content.

The video advertising feature provides the same dynamic ad insertion Kiptronic already provides with audio. Key features of the new service include no changes being required in the publishing processes, management of large rich media ad campaigns and device independence. Video advertising remains the last fully untapped revenue frontier of Web 2.0.
