Datapoint

Datapoints are IndiVideo's bread and butter. These are the dynamic values an IndiVideo expects to receive in the recipient's data and display at run-time in the viewer's browser.

A datapoint can be text-based, a number, or a boolean type. They can be from a pre-defined list of accepted values, or they can be free-form. They can appear in the video in a number of ways, ranging from as-is text form, to localized currency format, to dates and images.

Anything an IndiVideo needs to display dynamically can be accomplished through datapoints: CTA urls and phone numbers, color schemes, your client's first name and a picture of their pet. Anything's possible!

Media type

The type of a media of an IndiVideo is all about that IndiVideo's construction in authoring mode. There are 2 types:

VIDEO

This is the most common type of media used as it offers the widest range of creative videos. The Smart-Player loads an mp4 media file in addition to the interactive and dynamic elements.

AUDIO

Less common, the Smart-Player will only be loading an mp3 media file. Visual elements of the video are driven by SVG animation. While this type of media allows for faster load times, authoring mode users will find its creative range restricted.
