The power and flexibility of Stretch software configurable processors make them ideally suited for video processing and Stretch processors have been widely embraced by the surveillance industry. As the industry transitions from standard to high definition video and from analog streams to Internet Protocol transmission, there is tremendous demand for high performance, low cost video processors. Stretch S6000 and S7000 software configurable processors deliver the industry's highest video quality at the lowest cost per channel available and leading edge CODECs such as the H.264 Scalable Video CODEC (SVC) are opening up new use models, making content more available and more manageable than ever.
