Imagine Communications announces that its award-winning ICE Video Platform IPTV transcoder has successfully completed qualification testing for the Microsoft Mediaroom IPTV platform. The test was administered by Tech Mahindra as part of the Microsoft Mediaroom Interoperability and Qualification Lab program, which is intended to enable seamless interoperability and compliance of headend equipment used in Microsoft Mediaroom deployments.
