How do the channels compare?
Each channel arrives in the bid request as a different object, and each is measured in its own way.
| Channel | Bid request object | Key standards | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connected TV | Video (ad pods), App | OpenRTB 2.6 pods, VAST, app-ads.txt | Completion, reach and frequency; MRC video viewability where the device allows |
| Online video | Video | VAST, OpenRTB Video object | MRC video viewability: 50% of pixels for 2 seconds |
| Display | Banner | OpenRTB Banner object, ads.txt, sellers.json | MRC display viewability: 50% of pixels for 1 second |
| Native | Native | OpenRTB Native object, Dynamic Native Ads API | Viewability and engagement, labeled measured or modeled |
| Audio | Audio (pods) | OpenRTB Audio object, pod bidding fields | Listen-through and reach, labeled measured or modeled |
| Digital out-of-home | DOOH, Qty | OpenRTB DOOH object, Qty multiplier | Plays and multiplied impressions, venue reporting |
| In-app | App, Banner, Native, Video | app-ads.txt, GPP, OpenRTB App object | Viewability and installs or actions, labeled measured or modeled |
How do seven channels share one budget?
People move between screens all evening: a show on the TV, a podcast on the phone, the news on a laptop. Buying each channel in a separate tool counts the same home several times and spends against it several times.
Omni Buy keeps one budget and one frequency count across all seven channels, while each bid still uses the format rules of its own channel. Path Check applies the same seller checks to every one of them.
How is each channel counted?
Channels do not share one counting rule. These are the reference points the reports use.

What do buyers ask about channels?
Which advertising channels does Vectravia buy?
Seven: connected TV, online video, display, native, audio, digital out-of-home and in-app. Each has its own page with formats, standards and measurement.
Do I need a separate budget for each channel?
No. Omni Buy draws every channel from one budget and counts frequency across all of them, so one household is not over-served on different screens.
Is every channel measured the same way?
No, and the reports say so. Display and video use the MRC viewability rules, DOOH reports plays and multiplied impressions, and modeled numbers such as reach are labeled as modeled.
