Use AsString in Delphi when reading parameters. When you pass a blob to a blob parameter, with InterBase, you must pass a blob. IBO has several tricks for this, making it possible to assign e.g. a stringlist directly to a TIB_BlobColumn. You can access your IBOQuery's blob columns using the InternalDataset.Row.ByName('MyBlobColumn'). Read up the help on TIB_Column and its descendant TIB_BlobColumn.

With the latest Firebird releases, you can pass a string as input to a blob.
