High Definition IPTV over Powerline at CES 2006
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 11:00 AM
"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. 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."
This sounds like a great solution, although there is no price that has currently been stated. The 1020HD should be available for trials in late January 2006 with a consumer edition scheduled for production by the end of the first quarter of 2006.
