Company Overview

MatrixStream Technologies Inc. is a company that has developed complete turnkey IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and Video-On-Demand (VOD) internet solutions. MatrixStream has developed an end-to-end system that will revolutionize the way people watch TV, movies and videos using patent-pending MatrixCast Streaming technology over any any "best effort" IP broadband network, including the public Internet.

MatrixStream was founded by internet industry veterans who, like everyone else, are tired of the inconveniences associated with going to your local video rental shop: searching for titles that have already been checked out, waiting in long rental lines, having to return videos to avoid a late fee.

MatrixStream is a green earth conscious company. We use ISO 14001 (Environmental Quality Management) certified contract manufacturers and suppliers. Our systems are RoHS compliant. We believe our technology will also help save oil because our IPTV system enables people to drive us to video stores.

The MatrixStream IPTV solution gives the power of choice back to the viewing public - allowing access to an entire virtual video rental store right from the comforts of their homes. MatrixStream VOD subscribers can watch DVD- or HDTV-quality videos at a time that's convenient to them, without fear of ever having to pay for annoying late return fees.

The MatrixStream IMX IPTV platform encodes, encrypts, manages and stores multimedia content. In addition, MatrixStream's IMX platform tracks all the usage data for interface with Operational Support System (OSS). MatrixStream IMX solution enables any IPTV provider to start an IPTV service over any broadband today.

Problem

Consumers have been watching videos from over the air broadcasts, satellite providers and cable TV providers. In the past, Internet was not considered a reliable video distribution platform due to many issues such as lack of high speed transport, IP traffic congestions and packet drops. In addition, traditional IPTV streaming solutions only support legacy video codecs and they don't work over "best effort" IP networks such as the Internet. Instead, traditional streaming solutions require IP networks that require Quality-of-Service (QoS). As a result, IPTV operators have to spend millions of dollars to upgrade their broadband networks just to offer IP video.

Solution

MatrixStream has developed an IPTV VOD solution that is designed to work over any "best effort" IP network without QoS such as the Internet. The best of it all is that IMX IPTV solution is a complete end-to-end solution. IPTV operators can install IMX IPTV solution and be up and running right away.
