OTT
According to Wikipedia, over-the-top (OTT) media services are streaming media services offered directly to viewers over the Internet. OTT bypasses traditional cable, broadcast and satellite television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content. Some existing OTT services include Prime Video, Hulu and Netflix. More simply, OTT is for companies who own or buy media of some type and wish to sell it for people to watch.
Not only can OTT content can be viewed from traditional desktop, laptop and tablet computers, but also needs to provide viewing from mobile phones, smart TVs (Samsung, LG, etc.) and set-top “boxes” (Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, etc.).
SVOD
Subscription video on demand, similar to traditional TV packages, allowing users to consume as much content as they desire at a flat rate per month.
Smart TV
An internet-ready TV, able to download OTT video apps and stream without a set-top box.
SSAI

This means the ads will play on any device that can play streaming video and video ad blockers will not be an issue. See the Video Cloud SSAI Overview document for a complete discussion of SSAI in the Video Cloud environment.
