De-Multiplexing multiple camera views at once
then select which demultiplexed(isolated or separated) camera views
you would like to observe. These views can be saved as individual video
clips and/or as "matrix" video clips -a single video clip
with up to sixteen individual camera views playing simultaneously.
Time-Lapse Footage os converted into real time.
Comparitive Analysis Reverse Projection
and reliable eight analysis are made easy with the Avid superimpose
feature along with picture in picture.
Capture or Acquisition
Video Acquisition Digitize full-screen (720
x 486) uncompressed NTSC video from any composite, components, S-Video,
DV or MPEG 50 video source.
Uncompressed Video 1:1 video option (industry
standard ITU-R 601) - digitize footage with no quality degradation.
NTSC Standard Video Digitize video at the
industry standard 720 x 486 pixel matrix (349,920 pixels), ensuring
analysis of every pixel.
Capturing Digital Surveillance DVR decoding
software will digitize the original footage and then duplicate the
file in an uncompressed digital format for analysis and processing.
Processing Video
Frame Averaging removes video noise, gaininess
and hidden details.
Highlighting/Masking the analyst can highlight
an area of video to bring it ti attention or obscure an area to hide
sensitive information.
Resizing Video Enlarge (zoom of magnify)
footage. Video may also be reduced in size to expose the cropped are,
about 10%, that are commonly hidden from view by a typical televisions
underscan.
Image Stabilization stabilize unstable or
shacky video.
Color Correction tools are used to analyze
and corredc poor lighting and copensate for camera dome filters to
recover the accurate colors of the scene.
Clarify dark and poor quality security and
surveillance footage.
Picture-in-Picture display one moving image
within another offering a dynamic, side-by-side comparisons, demonstration
consistencies between know images and suspect images.
Comparative Analysis Reverse Projection and
reliable height analysis by superimposing images.
Titling or labeling is used to identify and
explain video evidence.
Timecode AVX allows the Forensic Video Analyst
to timestamp security video images to within 1/60th of a second.
Locators quickly and easily annotate video
evidence.
MetaSunc The Avid Systems provide twenty-four
tracks for synchronized metadate, linking any digital investicative
asset directly to the video evidence. Assets include word processing
documents, spreadsheets, e-mail , digital photos or virtually any
digital file can be accessed on a computer.
Script-Based Editing A transcript of a suspect or witness interview
or of an undercover operation can be aligned to the audio and video.
A simple word search can locate a specific word, phrase, or sentence
and then cue and play the video from that point.
Processing Audo

audio applications like
dynamic noise reduction and hiss removal.
QuickEnhance AS reduces interfering noise
problems and extracting
intelligible speech signals from audio captured on audio and video
surveillance tapes.

file formats, create an
entire sequence of uncompressed still images containing every image
of
a suspect caught on tape or encodes to all major digital video formats
