mLabs will continue to work with its existing customers — major media companies like NBC and Fox — to monetize video ad inventory across IP-connected devices, including iPad, iPhone, Android, GoogleTV, Apple TV, Roku and Xbox. The company’s Smart Stream Platform in-stream, targeted advertising within live and on-demand digital programming.
