StreamScale was founded in October 2007 by Pete Diamond (formerly head of development at Dedicated Micros, founder of BraddaHead and technical director of Baxall), Andy Heaton (formerly of BraddaHead and Baxall) and John Humphrey (former Group MD of Dedicated Micros.)
Commenting on the acquisition, Diamond said: “Having developed the original Vivid at BraddaHead before we sold it to Baxall in 2004, we were ideally positioned to re-acquire Vivid and further develop it.”
He added: “Vivid was always a much more sophisticated and feature rich product than most people realise and, to be honest, Baxall really undersold the product by positioning it as just another DVR rather than focusing on its many more sophisticated features.”
StreamScale will be selling existing Vivid stock purchased from Baxall initially, but will also be developing a range of analytics enabled recorders.
Stockport-based designer and manufacturer of CCTV equipment Baxall went into administration at the end of July 2007.
