IneoQuest Announces VeriFrame(TM) Distributed Video Verification Technology
New Technology Provides Cost-Effective Content Verification Solutions for Video Providers of All Types

MANSFIELD, MA--(Marketwire - November 10, 2008) - IneoQuest Technologies, Inc., the leading
global supplier of end-to-end video quality, service and revenue assurance
solutions, today announced the introduction of VeriFrame, a new video
content verification technology. Incorporated into IneoQuest's new iCMS™ (video
content management software) and Cricket
FrameGrabber™ hardware probes, VeriFrame's distributed video
verification technology empowers telecom, cable and satellite operators,
content providers, broadcasters and equipment manufacturers to efficiently
capture, monitor, audit and verify baseband content -- validating the
subscriber experience.
The conversion from analog to digital video distribution creates content
verification challenges for video service providers and equipment
manufacturers. These challenges include validating baseband video and
audio quality 24/7, as well as auditing when, where and how content is
played. Until the development of VeriFrame distributed video verification
technology, there has been a lack of a cost-effective method for verifying
baseband video and audio content -- as a subscriber experiences it in the
home. Existing solutions fail to adequately meet these key requirements,
forcing many providers to engineer their own often cumbersome workarounds.
"IneoQuest's new VeriFrame technology provides us with a simpler and more
cost-effective means of monitoring our video content," said, Shane Broyles,
central office manager of Rural Telephone. "We now have the ability to
validate the content we receive at our headend, ensuring we are only
distributing quality content to our subscribers. This technology also
enables us to centrally verify -- across multiple locations -- exactly what
our subscribers are viewing. In essence, VeriFrame allows us to affordably
extend our NOC to the desktop."
About VeriFrame
VeriFrame is a baseband content monitoring and auditing technology that
delivers both real-time and historical metrics and is ideal for use with a
variety of solutions including ad insertion (e.g., splice performance and
ad auditing) and distributed video verification where generic remote
consumer video viewing products are typically used. VeriFrame enables
video providers, manufacturers and broadcasters to automatically verify
video and audio content -- frame by frame, detect black screen, luminance
levels and freeze frame, and monitor audio levels. Additionally, VeriFrame
provides an industry-unique mosaic view of the video thumbnails for
immediate visual confidence monitoring and program playout verification.
Leveraging a powerful database architecture, VeriFrame also enables
efficient retrieval and filter navigation of all monitored and archived
video and audio information with thumbnail references for post analysis
trending and performance tracking.
Key VeriFrame Features Include:
-- Real-time monitoring and alarming on every frame, alerting to incidents
of freezing, black screen or low/high audio levels
-- Distributed management of multiple probe units for low cost of
deployment
-- Fully compatible with IneoQuest's award-winning IQPinPoint™ Solution
for complete, end-to-end QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of
Experience) solution
VeriFrame was developed based on customer requirements for a practical, low
cost method of archiving video and audio content for accurate, post
analysis and confidence monitoring.
"The requirements for baseband content monitoring and auditing during the
digital transition are shifting and becoming more complex. VeriFrame is
the only technology that can be leveraged into multiple solutions and
markets with such unique capabilities," said Calvin Harrison, vice
president of marketing and business development for IneoQuest. "VeriFrame
technology allows us to leverage immediate, innovative solutions for
baseband content monitoring and auditing that until now has not been
available to the video market. Further, by integrating VeriFrame into our
award-winning IQPinPoint solution, customers can now deploy an entire QoS
and QoE solution for true end-to-end network quality verification."
IneoQuest will be exhibiting VeriFrame Technology at TelcoTV, November
11-13, 2008 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. To schedule
