MatrixStream Instant HD Streamer

MatrixStream will be bringing the future of high definition to homes worldwide with their MX-1 set-top box, provided that one is equipped with a 6Mbps broadband connection at the very least. At least, that’s what’s needed on paper for 1080p videos, while those who are willing to settle for 720p will require just 3Mbps with 480p folks being satisfied with just a 1.5Mbps connection. It just remains to be seen whether content creators will provide permission for their movies to be ported over to H.264 video on MatrixStream’s MX-1 though before we start hailing this as the next big thing.
