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; capable of instant VOD,
streaming DVD-quality video in real time.


Simply plug one end of the STB into a TV set and the other into any broadband
connection, and then watch Video on Demand and IP broadcast TV in DVD or HD quality.
With the easy-to-use remote control in hand, end users will be able to access an
ever-increasing range of content and channels from around the world. Features to be
included are friendly interactive menus, and e-commerce capabilities tied to
MatrixStream's dynamic advertising management (DAM) technology, which targets
advertising based on individual user's preferences and interests.


MatrixStream's high-end, affordable (price yet to be determined) STB in conjunction
with the complete end-to-end MatrixStream IPTV/VOD backend solution is engineered to
work over any best effort broadband network with or without quality of service (QoS)
and thus can be utilized to target the entire global broadband market, currently
standing at just over 200 million broadband users worldwide. MatrixStream's turnkey
plug-n-play backend solution is fully integrated with IP STB and PC viewing clients
which enable IPTV operators to deploy an IPTV service complete with billing
management, subscriber management, channel management and digital rights management.


MatrixStream will be making the 1020HD available for trials in late January 2006
with a consumer edition scheduled for production by the end of the first quarter of
2006. In addition to its STB efforts, MatrixStream will be also launching its
IMX1100 PC Player in late January 2006 from a client's website, "Movie 99"
(www.movie99.tv). The PC Player will feature over 300 free channels from around the
world and 150 free DVD and HD quality movie clips.
