MatrixStream Technologies, Inc., will soon be releasing 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.

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”. The PC Player will feature over 300 free channels from
around the world and 150 free DVD and HD quality movie clips.
