MatrixStream Technologies, Inc., will be demonstrating at CES the
world’s first H.264 AVC (advance video codec) Video on Demand and
IPTV Set Top Box (STB) and PC Player capable of the highest of high
definition (HD) signal formats with 1080 vertical pixels by 1920
horizontal pixels.
MatrixStream’s 1020HD STB will match and even exceed broadcast and
satellite quality video over any broadband network the same way that
VoIP can be used over any broadband connection. (For high resolution

Unlike most IPTV and Video on Demand (VOD) solutions on the market
today, which are bogged down by broadband bandwidth congestion and
integration issues which leads lengthy download periods or low
quality Internet videos, proprietary MatrixStream technology
leverages proprietary H.264 end-to-end solution, allowing viewers to
watch videos in DVD or HD over any best effort broadband; capable of
instant VOD, streaming DVD-quality video in real time.
Simply plug one end of the STB into a TV set and the other into any
broadband connection, and then watch Video on Demand and IP
broadcast TV in DVD or HD quality. With the easy-to-use remote
control in hand, end users will be able to access an ever-increasing
range of content and channels from around the world. Features to be
included are friendly interactive menus, and e-commerce capabilities
tied to MatrixStream’s dynamic advertising management (DAM)
technology, which targets advertising based on individual user’s
preferences and interests.
MatrixStream’s high-end, affordable (price yet to be determined) STB
in conjunction with the complete end-to-end MatrixStream IPTV/VOD
backend solution is engineered to work over any best effort
broadband network with or without quality of service (QoS) and thus
can be utilized to target the entire global broadband market,
currently standing at just over 200 million broadband users
worldwide. MatrixStream’s turnkey plug-n-play backend solution is
fully integrated with IP STB and PC viewing clients which enable
IPTV operators to deploy an IPTV service complete with billing
management, subscriber management, channel management and digital
rights management.
MatrixStream will be making the 1020HD available for trials in late
January 2006 with a consumer edition scheduled for production by the
end of the first quarter of 2006. In addition to its STB efforts,
MatrixStream will be also launching its IMX1100 PC Player in late
January 2006 from a client’s website, “Movie 99” (www.movie99.tv).
The PC Player will feature over 300 free channels from around the
world and 150 free DVD and HD quality movie clips.
