Stretch and Provideo Announce New High Performance DVR Add-in Cards

SUNNYVALE, CA, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Stretch Inc., the pioneer and leader in software configurable processors,
and Provideo, a leading provider of high-performance video solutions for
the surveillance industry, today announced availability of Provideo's
latest series of five PCIe DVR add-in cards. The series comprise capture
and compression cards ranging from the PV-190 8/16 channel capture card
up to the PV-283 16-channel H.264 compression card featuring a 4-Lane
PCIe interface.

The new cards leverage the power of Stretch S6000 family software
configurable processors to deliver unprecedented performance in a single
PCIe add-in card form factor. All cards feature embedded analytics and
ship with a software developer's kit, ensuring that porting of third-party
software is fast and straightforward.

"Provideo has earned a reputation for delivering high performance products
with outstanding video quality," said Colin Chang, vice president of
Provideo. "Using Stretch's processor technology and Stretch reference
designs allowed us to easily and quickly differentiate our series of
compression cards. These cards set a new industry standard for video
quality."

The Stretch Intelligent Encoder enabled Provideo to automatically
configure their H.264 encode parameters based on the results of embedded
analytics running on every channel of captured video. Additionally
leveraging the flexibility of Stretch's software-defined architecture
allowed Provideo to easily update their designs according to the latest
standards, such as H.264SVC, the scalable extension to the popular H.264
standard.

"Provideo's adoption of S6000 family processors into their new DVR
platform is a tremendous endorsement of Stretch technology," said Joe
Hanson, Stretch director of sales for Asia Pacific. "The power of our
processors and the flexibility afforded by Stretch technology helped
Provideo to quickly bring to market a high-performance solution that can
be easily integrated and will remain up to date as the pace of technical
innovation in the surveillance industry accelerates."

The PV190, PV-280, PV-281, PV-282 and PV283 are distributed and marketed
by Provideo. For more information, go to www.provideo.com.tw.
