Here's the company;
www..urthecast.com (TXS Listed: UR)
They're installing 2 cameras on a Russian modlue of the ISS. 1 is for stills, the other for video. Specs of the video are hard to find, but i came across this;
• High-resolution Camera (HRC) HD video camera @ 1.1 meter resolution / 3 fps
• Rutherford Appleton Labs (RAL), in UK and MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates (MDA) have developed and built the cameras

"The cameras will capture raw data and compress it using the JPEG2000 algorithm"

I've read somewhere that the video camera is 4K, but can't find the link. At 3fps though, it seems a little pointless. Interesting non the less
