VAST responses can contain multiple media files with different
bitrates and in different formats. The SDK chooses the appropriate bitrate
based on the current network conditions:
max 500 kbit/s for cellular connection
unlimited for WiFi
If you want to specify preferred video formats and bitrate, use anAdsRenderingSettingsinstance to pass this information at the time of Ads Manager initialization.
