HDcctv Alliance

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 28, 2009 – Stretch Inc., the pioneer and leader in software configurable processors, today announced availability of its VRC6404HD, the world's first high definition PCIe DVR add-in card. The new card is capable of high definition capture and compression of up to four channels of high definition video at full frame rate using multiple CODEC options. The VRC6404HD is compliant with the standards of the recently formed HDcctv Alliance, which enables transmission of uncompressed video across standard coax cabling. The ability to reuse an existing coax-based infrastructure allows installers to easily and cost-effectively upgrade existing surveillance systems to high definition. Stretch, a founding member of the Alliance, first demonstrated the HDcctv technology at trade shows earlier this year.
