Announcing ClearView V3.0
Video Clarity Announces ClearView version 3.0
Video Capture, Video Quality Analysis, and Playout made easy
Campbell, CA, August 2006 - Video Clarity, Inc., a leading provider of video analysis equipment announced that it has released version 3.0. The ClearView systems are reliable, format-agnostic, frame accurate video analysis systems, which includes capture, analysis and playback of video sequences. This software upgrade works on any ClearView Video Analysis or ClearView Shuttle System.
Capture Features:
The ClearView systems allow the capture of video content from virtually any source - file, SDI, HD-SDI, DVI, VGA, HDMI, Component, Composite, and S-Video. Regardless of the input, the video is converted, based on user choice, to fully uncompressed 4:2:2 YCrCb, 4:4:4 ARGB, or 4:4:4 RGBA. Any inputted video sequence, regardless of dimensions, can be down-sampled or matted to fit into any legal resolution.
Analysis Features:
Analysis begins on any two video sequences which share the same resolution and color space. The goal is to calculate the video quality without a human in the loop - termed objective analysis. ClearView calculates the pixel differences between the video sequences and displays them as A-B with thresholding and add-back. Add-back shows where pixels are greater than the threshold. Without Add-back shows the actual value of the pixel differences. Also a PSNR is calculated and graphed for every frame. Currently, VideoClarity with VQEG are defining new objective measurement tools. In the interim, a person must view the video sequence - termed subjective analysis. To aid in subjective video analysis, ClearView displays the video sequences at any rate in side-by-side, seamless split, or split mirror.
Playout Features:
Output rates are independent from input rates; so any video sequence can be outputted at rates up to 120Hz. The user has control over shuttle rates, jog, color look-up tables, zoom/pan, and field display. The video sequences are previewed within the ClearView Interface and sent to HD-SDI, SDI, Component, S-Video, Composite, DVI, VGA, and HDMI. Normally, the video sequences are shown on the same display, but in SDI output, each video sequence can be outputted via a separate HD-SDI/SDI link. Video Sequence or a portion of the video sequence can also be outputted as uncompressed BMP, RAW or AVI files.
