How the buy executes at residential venues

Each screen runs the Trillboards kiosk app on an open OpenRTB 2.6 connection to our SSP. Roughly every 45 seconds, the device fires an ad request carrying the IAB DOOH inventory descriptor, venue category, location, screen format, plus the live audience measurements from the on-device CV pipeline.

Demand-side platforms bid in under 100 ms. The winning creative ships back, plays in the device's native VAST player, and confirms playback with a signed proof-of-play receipt. Those receipts reconcile daily against partner-reported numbers, which is the record we bill against.

We serve first-party and third-party VAST, OMID viewability where the creative declares it, and device-signed proof of play, meeting the OAAA measurement standards and the IAB DOOH 1.0 specification. Buyers on our OpenRTB endpoint target residential venues through the IAB Audience Taxonomy and the Trillboards segtax=600 namespace, and receive no per-screen identifiers in the bid request.


If you own the venue

Apartment and condo property managers host Trillboards screens in elevator banks and lobby waiting areas. The screens deliver programmatic ads plus building-info content (event listings, maintenance notices) without requiring property-management staff intervention.
