# AVPlayerInterstitialEventController

An object that schedules interstitial events for items played by the primary player.

```
class AVPlayerInterstitialEventController
```

## Overview

This class is a subclass of [`AVPlayerInterstitialEventMonitor`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPlayerInterstitialEventMonitor) that you use to manage the schedule of interstitial events to present during playback of primary content.

> Important:
> Creating an event controller and setting a schedule causes playback to ignore interstitial events present in the source media.
