Stretch Announces New Series of Decode and Display Cards

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Stretch Inc., the pioneer and leader in
software configurable processors, today announced availability of its
VDC6000 Series of PCIe decode and display cards. VDC6000 Series cards
provide real-time video decode and extensive video post-processing, scaling
and captioning capabilities. The new cards are easily integrated with
existing DVR applications to provide multi-stream, multi-display
capabilities without the need for increased host processor performance.

The first card in the series, the VDC6004, uses a
single Stretch
S6100 processor to decode up to four, independent, H.264 encoded D1
streams for display via its four NTSC/PAL audio/video analog outputs. A
video pass-through mode allows multiple live video feeds to be scaled and
displayed alongside feeds decoded from IP cameras or from disk storage.

"The VDC6004 is the perfect compliment to the Spot Monitor Output (SMO)
capabilities of our VRC6000 DVR add-in
cards," commented Mark Oliver, Stretch director of product marketing.
"Its decode and display performance is achieved without increased demands
on the host processor, making it a powerful addition to the SMO display
capabilities of existing DVR systems."

The VDC6000 Series uses the same Application Programming Interface used
across the entire portfolio of Stretch DVR add-in cards, making integration
with existing host application software fast and straightforward. Firmware
for the VDC6004 is stored on the host system and loaded during boot time.
Feature upgrades are as simple as downloading a new firmware image to the
host computer. This ensures that the VDC6004 will remain compatible with
the latest CODEC standards and third-party streams.

VDC6000 Series cards are delivered with system firmware, host drivers, and
the Stretch DVR Software Developers Kit, giving designers access to the
rich Application Programming Interface. They are available as full
reference design kits that can form the basis for highly differentiated
derivative product or in multi-unit packaging for OEMs and system
integrators. The VDC6004 is available now. Contact Stretch Sales for
