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
