Product Overview

VISUALmpegQUALIFY is a filebased analysis tool to ensure the quality of video and audio assets in filebased workflows. QUALIFY is completely software based, running ony any Windows platforms.Taking advantage of multi-core processor architecture, VISUALmpegQUALIFY supports very fast analysis of multiple files in parallel. VISUALmpegQUALIFY does very comprehensive checks of video and audio content files. Video content is checked for various parameters (e.g. blockiness, blurriness, black- and freeze frames, video and chroma level,...). Whereas VISUALmpegVQA is more a Tool for R&D companies doing basic MPEG and H.264 video quality analysis of several elementary video streams, VISUALmpegQUALIFY supports a wide variety of file formats including broadcast formats and was designed for fully automated and high file quantity analysis (e.g. complete Servers). QUALIFY also supports MXF containers to allow analysis of ingested broadcast content.

VISUALmpegQUALIFY can scan entire folder of contents specified by the users. Once the analysis of all files has been completed, a visual summary is presented. Different colors from green to red indicating the overall quality of the file content.
Additionally to the average quality level, the user can check the video file for certain parameters. Logging, Warning and Alarm events can be set up using a simple thresholds based approach.

Frame level details are generated after analysis of each content file which lets an operator drill down quickly on the erroneous frames.

VISUALmpegQUALIFY generates HTML reports summarizing the results of an asset analysis. These reports can be easily parsed and archieved for later review. These reports contains all quality results as well as the thumbnail and full frames of all errorneous frame events.
