So let’s take a closer look at Q2 and see what are the percentages of video impressions served on each device.

CTR v CPV
The in-stream format is purchased either as CPM (cost per mille impressions) or CPV (cost per view) with a view being triggered when an end user watched 10 seconds or more of a video ad. Here is a comparison of the percentages of CTR on CPM versus CPV.
