Euresys Chooses Stretch S6000 Processors for New 16 Channel H.264 Compression Product
Euresys Picolo V16 H.264 Compression Board Features 16 Video Inputs and Audio Capability
SUNNYVALE, Calif., October 6th, 2008 — Stretch Inc., the pioneer and leader in software configurable processors, today announced that Euresys has chosen Stretch S6000 processors to power its new Picolo V16 H.264 video capture and compression board. Euresys is a worldwide leader in the development of industrial machine vision and video surveillance hardware and software products and services.
The Stretch S6000 family of software configurable processors delivers H.264 AVC performance, while providing a scalable solution offering from 4- to 16-channels. The processors were designed to provide a flexible, feature-rich computing platform to allow customers to easily create a broad portfolio of products, from add-in cards to embedded DVRs.
"By implementing five S6 processors onto each capture card, Euresys delivers tremendous video and audio computing capabilities to address the most demanding surveillance applications," said Tom Stengel, Stretch vice president of sales. "We were pleased to partner with Euresys, providing them with our processors, reference design kits, and tools, enabling them to quickly and efficiently develop their new H.264 product."
The Picolo V16 H.264 is a PCI-Express add-in card that features H.264 on-board compression for 16 video inputs. Each video input can simultaneously deliver a raw and a compressed video stream. Compressed images are stored on the hard disc or transferred by the network, while at the same time the uncompressed images can be immediately displayed and may be used for video analytics. Both streams are independently configurable: frame rate control, resolution control, overlay, and masking features can be set for each raw or compressed video stream.
