MatrixStream IPTV Technologies
The company introduced the world’s first VOD and IPTV HD-STB using H.264 AVC
(advance video codec) adapted for 1080p, with 80GB of HDD, to receive SD and HD
IPTV signals over broadband.
The STB allows high bandwidth users (1.5 Mbps+) to view videos in real time via live
streaming. For users with lower bandwidth, the IMX Set Top Box (STB) has the
proprietary video preload feature that preloads videos to the STB cache before
viewing.

H.264/MPEG 4 Part 10, streaming video,
download and push VOD, 1080p over HDMI,
component analog able to output 1080i
subjected to downrez if the content protection
requires it, HDCP over HDMI is activated
depending on the content provider contract and
STB (the boxes are offered world wide so it
varies by location).
According to the company, the IPTV signal will always be protected by encryption, it
is up to the service provider to decide if they want to turn HDCP on or off depending
on the contract agreement for content they have made for IPTV delivery. Usually a
customer will get the set-top box from the service provider directly, however, some
service providers might choose to provide it over retail, i.e.: Best Buy.
