“As we searched for ways to simplify the quality verification of protected content for our customers, collaboration with an industry leader was an obvious imperative. Verimatrix quickly landed on the top of our collaborator list,” said Calvin Harrison, president and CEO at IneoQuest. “Verimatrix places a high priority on consistent service quality and we applaud their efforts to ensure optimum customer experience while also ensuring revenue security. We are excited about this partnership’s potential to improve the viewer experience of protected, CDN-delivered video”.

Service providers using Verimatrix now exclusively have the ability to verify, monitor, and validate protected adaptive video assets throughout the complex distribution network infrastructures that have evolved in the OTT world.
“Our collaboration with IneoQuest offers our joint customers a substantially more complete solution in terms of monitoring, test and optimization of secure video streaming services,” said Steve Oetegenn, president, Verimatrix. “Our integrated solution enables operators to not only validate encrypted streams but to better understand the video within those streams for enhanced QoE and more robust revenue protection.”
