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 a live demonstration of VeriFrame, please email ineoquestnews@ineoquest.com.
