Video Quality Evaluation Equipment

VP21S (Double Stimulus Video Evaluation)

The VP21S performs automatic, real-time evaluation of SDTV video image quality.

The VP21S achieves automated, real-time measurement and analysis by comparing the source and the tested video. Our patented Video DNA Technology gives evaluation that highly correlates with subjective testing according to ITU standards (DSCQS). Video synchronization is done automatically by the equipment, and analysis is done at pixel level of detail. The VP21S is mainly used for CODEC evaluation, QA verification and SDTV system performance improvements.

Applications

  • Encoder/decoder debugging operations
  • Broadcast system video quality evaluation
  • Automatic dubbing quality evaluation
  • Evaluations of encoding quality/performance during DVD authoring
  • Automatic evaluation of master DVD playback quality
