The solutions for digital delivery of movies in HD is already a reality (although still a niche), but are unable to meet the needs of enthusiasts demanding more in terms of reproduction quality.
The arrival of the Service is “XStreamHD” however, could change things. The objective of this company is to launch a Video On Demand service via satellite with download of movies, music (but also in future games) to the highest quality currently available.
In the film there is talk of Blu-ray quality images and audio up to 7.1 channel DTS HD Master Audio or multichannel FLAC. For music, content named “Studio Master” with lossless encoding and resolutions up to 24bit / 176kHz.
To function will be necessary to aim the dish towards the satellite “XStreamHD is installed in the house a receiver” XStreamHD Media Server “(available in denominations HDD 500GB, 1, 2 or 4TB) where to download purchased content. The Media Server will then be connected to your audio-video using a “Media Receiver or DLNA via your” Media Player Extender, PC or game console to play content.
The XStream HD Media Server is also equipped with a digital terrestrial HD tuner and is connected to the Internet for playback of existing content IPTV. The project is certainly ambitious and very interesting, but must have the support of the majors. In this regard, further details will be unveiled at the CES 2010 in Las Vegas.
