-When configuring OVA, all that is required now for the minimal pre-roll setup is the ad tag itself.
+In the case of a straight forward pre-roll setup, the OVA configuration approach has been simplified to the point where only a single "shortcut" variable "ova.tag" is required.
+
+That variable specifies the static ad tag to be used to obtain the pre-roll media to play.

+=== 6.2 Other Shortcut Setup Variables ===

+To support the "ova.tag" variable, several other "shortcut" variables have been defined. These can be used with the same minimum configuration approach above:
+
+   * ova.debug - maps to the "levels" debug setting - so "ova.debug": "fatal, config, vast_template" sets the debug levels to "fatal, config, vast_template"
+   * ova.autoplay - maps to the "autoPlay" config option
+   * ova.delayadrequestuntilplay - maps to the standard "delayAdRequestUntilPlay" config option
+   * ova.clearplaylist - OVA for JW5 only - allows OVA to be instructed as to whether or not the playlist should be cleared from the player as it initialises
+   * ova.allowplaylistcontrol - OVA for JW5 only - maps to the "allowPlaylistControl" option
