“Green” MatrixStream technology powers online 1080p horror movie from MyTVpal

January 31, 2008 – MatrixStream has announced that its streaming technology will be delivering a full 1080p high-definition horror movie to subscribers of MyTVpal’s online video service instantly, reflecting a more “green” approach than traditional movie rentals and mailed rentals.

The MyTVpal service will be delivering horror action flick “Shadow: Dead Riot”, released in 2006 and starring Tony Todd (“Candy Man”), in 1080p instant streaming VOD to MatrixStream MX-1 set-top boxes.  A 6Mbps broadband connection will also be required for full 1080p resolution – the title will also be available in 720p HD, requiring a 3Mbps connection, and 480p, requiring a 1.5Mbps connection.

Aaron Keogh, Director of Business Development for MatrixStream, commented that in addition to offering a “greener” method of film delivery, its video streaming platform is also friendly to VoIP calls being made via the same connection.  “What is also attractive about a service such as ours is that whether you’re in the US, UK or the Philippines, you can stream high-definition titles instantly,” he added.

Shadow: Dead Riot will be released on the MyTVpal service by February 8th, and Mr. Keogh added that over 100 1080p high-definition titles will be released over the next few months.  The MyTVpal service also offers over 1,000 free live TV channels.
