Touted as the ‘future of high definition film and television in the unlimited movie/channel universe’, MatrixStream Technologies, a company that has developed complete turnkey IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and video-on-demand (VOD) Internet solutions, is now offering an end-to-end system that it says will revolutionise the way people watch TV, movies and videos.

According to MatrixStream, the company was founded by Internet industry veterans who, like everyone else, were tired of the inconveniences associated with going to a local video rental shop: searching for titles that have already been taken out, waiting in rental lines, and having to return videos to avoid a late fee.

With the MatrixStream IPTV solution, the power of choice is now being given back to the viewing public - allowing access to an entire virtual video rental shop right from the comforts of their homes. It uses its proprietory XMS streaming and MatrixCast technology over any 'best effort' IP broadband network, including the public Internet, and deliver and encode, encrypt, watermark, manage and store multimedia content. In addition, the platform tracks all the usage data. The IMX solution enables any IPTV provider to immediately start an IPTV service over any broadband, it says.

Matrixstream's IMX1020HD 1080P H.264 set-top box is now available for distribution to service providers worldwide. The IMX1020HD set top box can deliver video on demand and streaming television channels instantly in up to 1920 x 1080 resolution over any best effort broadband connection with no quality of service required. Consumers can get up to 1080P streaming video over any broadband connection provided there is enough raw bandwidth. This means they will also have the freedom of choice as to the service provider they select for their video on demand/IP television service.

Small service providers can also benefit in that they can compete with the largest telcos, ISPs, and video store chains, etc, because they will have the ability to service any broadband user in their country. Service providers do not need to provide any broadband infrastructure other than running their servers out of a data centre.
