IneoQuest Introduces IQDVx(TM), Industry's First Hybrid MPEG/IPTV Analysis Software for Rapid Debug of IP Video Quality Issues
Newest PC Application Solves Complex Problem of Debugging IP Video Quality Issues in a Mixed Technology Environment

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - October 23, 2007) - IneoQuest Technologies, Inc., the leader in
Multi-Dimensional Video Quality Management Systems and global provider of
advanced quality and service assurance solutions for IP Video, today
announced the release of IQDVx, a PC-based software application that
enables unprecedented visibility into the structure of IP Video by bridging
the analysis requirements for both MPEG and IP. Using IQDVx, IP Video
providers can analyze, troubleshoot and identify faults in IPTV media files
-- and correlate anomalies and MPEG errors with the resulting picture
quality as viewed by subscribers. With its targeted, multi-dimensional
approach to analysis, IQDVx adds analysis depth to IneoQuest's IQPinPoint
which includes an extensive line of award-winning hardware and software
products aimed at lowering operational expenses (OPEX) associated with
maintaining an IP Video network.
The First Hybrid Analysis Tool for IP Video
IQDVx is a direct response to a growing need in the Video Service Provider
community for a comprehensive quality assurance solution that reflects the
unique needs and complex nature of the IP Video transport network. Many
advanced, complex technologies make IPTV possible, and the layering of
these technologies can make troubleshooting IPTV networks difficult and
time consuming. Legacy test and measurement tools made for traditional
video transport networks simply cannot offer the in-depth analysis needed
to maintain and enhance an IPTV network. IQDVx is the first standalone tool
that identifies and displays errors in both the Ethernet/IP and MPEG layers
through a simple, intuitive interface.
"Until now, the only way to identify and debug video problems in a mixed
MPEG and IP environment was to use two separate venders' tools that weren't
designed to work together and took additional time and resources to
install and learn," said Marc A. Todd, president and CEO of IneoQuest.
"IQDVx is an entirely new class of hybrid analysis application that allows
video providers, for the first time, to correlate and visually display the
effects of both IP and MPEG errors for quicker and more efficient
troubleshooting and resolution."
The Power of Multi-Dimensional Analysis
By working in conjunction with IneoQuest's Video Quality Management System
(iVMS) and hardware devices, such as the Singulus Lite probe, IQDVx
completes the Multi-Dimensional view into the IPTV network, investigating
the structure and analyzing the IPTV Ethernet frame, including both the
MPEG and Ethernet components.
"This is the first time a provider has the technology to look at both the
granular, engineering side of a video feed and the end result -- the
picture in the viewer's home," Todd explained. "IQDVx not only helps
providers detect quality issues in the IP stream, but it also allows them
insight into what the viewer sees, giving them a repeatable, measurable
method for correlating transport issues to real-world trouble calls."
IneoQuest will be giving demonstrations of the IQDVx software application
live at TelcoTV 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia, Oct. 23-25 at show booth 737. For
