New Encoder Gives Matrixstream an End-to-End IPTV Solution

June 2, 2006

Matrixstream just released a new IMX4000 standard definition WM9 / H.264 encoder, which apparently completes the company's end-to-end VOD / IPTV platform, giving it everything from software, set top boxes, servers, to encoders. This creates a path for its complete end-to-end 1080P H.264 high def IPTV platform,  and should juice interest in its IMX1020 1080P H.264 set top box (available for order on June 30th) and whet operators' appetite for the high-def IMX4500 encoder (available sometime in the 4th quarter 2006.)

You can try out out the company's new XMS-based PC Player -- with fullscreen 1080P instant playing, fast forward, rewind, and seek functions -- which will run over any best effort broadband connection with no quality of service required.

Here's the skinny on download instructions, features, and required PC configuration and bandwidth:

(1) Download the latest pre-beta VOD / IPTV PC Player at www.movie99.tv
(2) Unzip PC player
