  • System and method for media stream monitoring
    Patent number: 7966393
    Abstract: A method of verifying the transmission of audio content in a media stream may comprise receiving from a server a portion of a media stream having a first audio file format, processing the media stream portion to obtain data values, and determining if any of the data values fall outside of a pre-determined range of data values. A system for verifying the transmission of audio content may comprise a computer connected to a server over a network, and the computer may be adapted to receive from the server a portion of a media stream having a first audio file format, process the media stream portion to obtain a set of data values, determine the highest absolute data value of the set and compare the highest absolute data value to a data value corresponding to audio silence.
