Key features

Bitstream view

NAL units, Filmstrip, HRD and VBV buffer, Specification, Reference hierarchy

Bitstream

  • Thumbnails Filmstrip with Frame Type and picture preview
  • Bars Filmstrip with Frame type and size
  • Frame reference dependency and hierarchy
  • Extracting NAL units and sub stream
  • Spec compliance verification
  • HRD and VBV buffer visualization
  • Displaying PSNR/SSIM metrics per frame on a timeline graph

Frame view

Prediction, transform and overlays

Frame

  • Dedicated view for each stage of frame processing
  • Extracting intermediate pictures to a file
  • DPB state for the frame
  • Graphically Analyze Coding Flow
  • Visual Overlays: Heat Map, QP Map, Efficiency Map, and many other
  • Display PSNR/SSIM metrics as block-based heat map

Statistics

Frame and Stream level stat, extract to file

Statistics

  • Quotation from spec for each syntax element
  • Whole bitstream & each separate frame statistics
  • Extract syntax and statistical data to a file

VQ Analyzer

Block view

Full pipeline of actions with coefficients, vectors and formulas

Block

  • Detailed information for the selected block in Selection Info
  • Detailed view for a selected block in each processing stage with values and actions

Debug

Dual View (open dependent bitstream), Debug YUV (Open debug YUV, Find First Difference), Delta

Debug

  • Load an original uncompressed or decoded stream to debug the difference
  • Dual view to synchronize actions over 2 similarly encoded streams
  • Find the first difference between Reference and Debug pixels
  • View of bits in the bitstream for Selected NAL/Frame/Block
  • Detect, class Nameify, display, and navigate to a bitstream error or level incompliance

Syntax Info

Values of specified bitstream elements instruct the decoder to take action

Statistics

  • Quotation from spec for each syntax element
  • Whole bitstream & each separate frame statistics
  • Extract syntax and statistical data to a file
