  • Clarify dark and poor quality security and surveillance footage.
  • Picture-in-Picture displays one moving image within another offering 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 labelling 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.
