Metrological Media Innovations and IneoQuest Technologies announce that Metrological has licensed IneoQuest's patented and patent-pending quality assurance, IQVeriStream, technology for monitoring adaptive bit rate video streams. The move will allow Metrological to include the IneoQuest quality assurance metrics for adaptive bit rate video delivery in its MediaConnect TV solution.

Adaptive bit rate methodologies are used to stream video to Apple iPhones and iPads, Microsoft Silverlight clients, and many other types of end devices, including next-generation hybrid broadcast-broadband set top box and digital TV designs. The IQVeriStream license granted to Metrological will allow Metrological customers to include the IQVeriStream metrics in their Digital TV and set top box designs and determine whether any problems are local to the client system or due to head-end encoding or network congestion issues. Service providers and head-end operators can then leverage IneoQuest's award-winning solutions for head-end and core networks to determine the root cause of such problems.

Key staff of Metrological (Booth Hall 9, IP 361/364) and IneoQuest (Hall 1, Booth A.74) will be attending this year's IBC 2010, from September 10-14 at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands. For further information or to make an appointment at IBC, please use the contact information for each of the companies.
