Video on Demand Innovated
Imagine a device that could deliver movies, TV shows, online training or other on-demand video content to any media player. A device so versatile that it fits in your pocket and delivers digital on-demand content from an internet site to a game console, a non-networked DVD/ Blu-ray™ player, or even a digital photo frame.
StreamStick™ delivers Video on Demand
HSTi has created StreamStick™, a robust cloud computing, content delivery device using Wireless Media Stick™ patented technology. A smart Video-on-Demand (VOD) solution, the StreamStick™ allows the consumer to instantly watch movies or TV programs streamed to their preferred playback device, from your content storage infrastructure.
Video on Demand without the hassles
Use the StreamStick™ to offer Video-on-Demand services to a wide variety of media players and game consoles without the need to develop and integrate custom software on the player itself, or to have agreements with each player’s manufacturer.
It’s Wireless and Secure
The StreamStick™ is a portable device that you can use in any Wi-Fi network and utilizes proven technologies like wireless 802.11 g/n standard along with WEP/WPA/WPA2/TKIP/AES security to deliver the content. The device’s custom OS can accommodate custom software to safeguard and expedite the delivery of that content.

How it works
Your customers set up and access their account on your VOD web portal through a computer or smart phone browser, and select/purchase movies from your content library. The registered StreamStick™ is tied to the user’s account based on its IP or Mac address. Their movie choices are then available on their StreamStick™ as a file.
The StreamStick™ works with the USB playback port and not the actual media player. As a result the StreamStick™ is compatible with most brands and models of players that are equipped with a USB playback port and can read files from a storage device.
The StreamStick™ plugs into a TV, DVD player, Blu-ray™, game console, DVB-T, set top box, or any other media player through the USB playback port and presents the video selection as a file. The user navigates through the media player’s file manager menu with the media player’s remote control and hits ‘play’ to view the selected movie file. The movie file is then streamed directly from the content provider’s infrastructure through the StreamStick™ to the media player.
