List: Placement PositionsValue 9

When to send it

Use 9 for a corner placement in the upper left, typically a small overlay or picture-in-picture unit on a CTV or DOOH screen while the program continues. It was added in AdCOM 1.0-202607 and is sent in Video.pos or Banner.pos, normally with a video plcmt of 7 (Overlay).

Corner values tell the buyer where its creative will be composited, so it can supply an asset that fits the space and keeps clear of on-screen elements such as captions. Do not confuse 9 with the other corners (10, 14 and 15), and do not use a corner value for a squeezeback where the content itself is resized; those layouts are 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17.

Example

{
  "imp": [
    {
      "banner": {
        "pos": 9
      }
    }
  ]
}
