Retina Banner
This plugin lets Revive Adserver deliver banners built for high-density Retina displays, detecting them by window pixel ratio and supporting both image and generic HTML banners. Publishers and advertisers get sharper creatives on high-resolution screens without a separate ad setup.
What it does
- Treats any window pixel ratio above 1 as a Retina display, so the right creative is chosen from the device itself.
- Adds a Retina Double Size option in banner size for image banners, which lets advertisers upload sharper images where devices can show them.
- Marks a generic HTML banner as a Retina creative with an IS RETINA checkbox, which extends the format to third-party ads placed in the zone.
- Links a retina banner by campaign or individually, and auto-links it to the zone when its campaign is already linked, which saves manual linking steps.
How it fits your ad stack
The format works inside the normal zone, campaign and banner setup. Auto-linking happens only if the campaign is already linked to the zone, so link the campaign first. The common IAB display sizes, such as 300x250, 728x90 and 160x600, remain the usual reference for zone dimensions.
Full feature details
- "Retina Banner" plugin for Revive Adserver is used to display ads in devices that have Retina Display.
- It displays pixels at higher density and with retina banners users can experience higher quality banners.
- Retina display devices are categorized based on the window pixel ratio.
- If the window pixel ratio is greater than “1” it will be considered as a “Retina Display” and anything with less than “1” will be considered as a “Non-Retina display”.
- Creative size can resize shrinking the zone size up to 50% of dimension, so the end user pays more attention to retina banners.
- It supports image and generic HTML banner types. For Generic HTML banner type ad delivery, we can show the third-party ads within the given zone size for retina images.
1) Banner Type Retina:
- In banner types, a new option for banner size called “Retina Double Size” can be found.
- By selecting this, the user can deliver retina images/banners.
- Retina banners will be auto-linked to the zone if the particular campaign is already linked to the zone. Else, the auto-linking process wouldn’t occur.
- After creating a retina banner, you can link that based on campaign or individuals.
2) Generic HTML as Retina banner:
- While creating banners, choose type as “Generic HTML Banner” and there’s a checkbox labeled as “IS RETINA” to select HTML banner as Retina display banner.
