MPEG Analyzer for Codec Development and Standards Compliance

Video compression technologies allow us to deliver high-quality, lower bitrate content, saving us on storage and transmission bandwidth. Encoder R&D and Video Compression professionals understand the challenges of working with different codec standards and the complexities of their algorithms. Having the right video compression analysis tool to detect errors and verify compliance is critical in developing encoding solutions that Content Owners, Distributors, and Service Providers can rely on.

Delivering In-depth and Powerful Analysis

MSight is a file-based media analyzer solution that provides the most in-depth testing and analysis of media streams at all levels of encoded data to achieve optimum video quality. The depth and reliability of testing and the speed at which errors are detected allow organizations to address these errors quickly, reducing the cost of errors.

MSight allows users to “see it all” with instant access to the lowest level syntax in the compression standard and the most optimized performance. The ability to "see it all" means that hours' worth of video and audio can be processed quickly, and problems can be identified, debugged, and fixed quickly.

MSight’s ability to run stream comparisons to determine the effectiveness of a stream over another allows efficient optimization of video quality settings and algorithms. MSight provides a powerful conformance test interface and regression scripting support, making quality control during codec development painless.

What do our customers say?

"MiraVid’s MSight Media Analyzer tools are used by our field support team, as well as an extension of our Tier 2 support. We rely on the rapid identification of issues embedded in MPEG transport streams, using tools such as buffer analysis and video conformance. The fast results and ability to immediately access the faulty packet from the video conformance reports accelerate our ability to respond quickly and accurately. In the rare case that we need help, the effectiveness of the MiraVid Support team matches the high quality of the MSight product.”

In-Depth Video Compression Analysis

User Interface

+ Powerful seek engine provides fast, efficient, and easy-to-use navigation for any MPEG stream

+Comprehensive MPEG data is grouped based on MPEG syntax, from sequence level down to block coefficient level

+ Graphical overlay of key data over video for faster analysis (MB Grid, Motion Vector, Field MB, MB size, MB Quant, MB Type and more)

+Real-time decoding and analysis for streams up to HD resolution with Closed Caption, V-Chip, and CGMS-A support

Debugging

+ Instantly jumps to problem areas identified in any compliance test, even up to the specific macroblock

+Inspects all aspects of the stream at the problem location, without having to manually correlate the error with the stream location

+ Ability to view the stream in a display or coded order, which enables the user to watch the step-by-step progression of complex operations in Decoded Picture Buffer or decoded reference picture marking

Compliance Testing

+ Comprehensive conformance tests at system, video and audio layer with unparalleled speed

+Unified conformance test interface with HTML report

+ Powerful regression scripting support
