Ad monetisation is the process of earning revenue through Amagi Now by using dynamic ad insertion into the ad slots of the channel. This dynamic ad insertion is achieved using Amagi Thunderstorm.
To monetize your channel delivery, Thunderstorm needs to be configured through Amagi Now. Once configured, Thunderstorm dynamically replaces advertisements in your channel with personalised content from ad networks, providing monetisation through your delivery.
Note: You can set up monetisation for a platform only after delivering a channel to that platform.
The monetisation for a channel is disabled by default. You can enable it by clicking the Monetisation Enabled toggle switch. The moment you enable the monetisation, two new fields – Ad Tag Name and Ad Tag Vast URL are displayed
1. Provide the ad tag name and vast url.
2. Click VALIDATE.
Note: You can add new passthrough macros and delete unwanted ones. The details are explained in the below sections.
In addition to the passthrough macros that are automatically populated, you can add new ones.
To add more passthrough macros, perform the following steps:

2. Provide the required tag names and their values.
