Rich media

Tablet advertising combines the best of print, digital and TV with a strong call to action.  Using video in your advertisement can be an excellent way to communicate your message.

Video file size should no greater than 10MB. Preferred format is mp4. The iPad screen is 1024×768 (horizontal) or 768×1024 (vertical) – this is an aspect of 4:3 (or 3:4) – like ‘ole fashion TV’.

Widescreen video for ‘new’ TV is 16:9. The iPad can show 16:9 video but it will have black bars top and bottom.
The 16:9 video can be cropped to be 4:3 BUT the video should be framed so that the left and right edges will be chopped off.

Our iPad edition of Encore has some great examples of rich media creative.    You can download the latest edition for free here – http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/encore-magazine/id500590348?mt=8
