Original Press Release:



Stack Launches a Compact and Ruggedized, Solid-State Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for Harsh Environments, Supporting Broadcast Standard, High Quality MPEG2.



For high-quality video recordings on the move, the miniature solid-state Digital Video Recorder (DVR) from Stack provides the optimum solution and is specifically designed for use in harsh environments.

The DVR employs broadcast standard MPEG-2 video compression to record high quality, real-time video and audio direct to a PC (PCMCIA or CF) flash card. Up to 8 hours of high-quality, full resolution digital video can be recorded on just one 16GB memory card, which can be easily removed and replaced with an empty card to continue recording or for playback on a PC or laptop using a standard media player application.

The Stack DVR is housed inside a ruggedized and sealed enclosure, specifically designed and manufactured to protect the unit in harsh and extreme environments. Sealed to IP68 with an operating temperature range of -20oC to +80oC, the unit is compact and durable with no moving parts (other than the sealed flash card access door), making it capable of operating where normal VCRs or DV recorders are not. Recording in harsh environments, such as continual shock and vibration and extreme climate conditions is now entirely possible, making it ideal for all mobile and on-vehicle video-recording applications.

A data overlay feature is also provided so that date and time may be stamped onto the recorded video. Recordings can be archived direct to DVD for playback on either a PC or a DVD player.

The Stack DVR can be used as a stand-alone harsh environment Digital Video Recorder, for use with other video systems. Stack can also supply the DVR with a video kit incorporating a miniature bullet CCD camera and even a full, Synchronized Video-Logger System, complete with modular data acquisition equipment from 8 to 256 channels.
