Key Features

Frame by frame analysis with comprehensive error reports: VEGA Media Analyzer (VMA) allows for frame by frame analysis of media files, generating error reports to identify issues and errors in the encoded streams, enabling users to pinpoint specific problems and make necessary adjustments.

Forward/backward, vertical navigation down to macroblock level: VMA enables users to navigate within a media file, providing a detailed view of the encoded stream, helping in identifying specific issues and understanding the intricacies of the media file.

Detailed display of coded information: VMA provides a detailed display of coded information within a media file, including average macroblock (MB) size, quantization values, and frame statistics, helping users understand the encoding parameters and analyze the quality of the encoded streams.

Video comparison - HEVC vs HEVC/H.264/VP9 to evaluate encoder performance, quality: VMA allows for video comparison between different video compression standards such as HEVC, H.264, and VP9, enabling users to evaluate the performance and quality of different encoders, helping in selecting the most suitable encoder for specific requirements.

Fast analysis and Partial analysis mode for long streams: VMA provides fast analysis capabilities for media files, reducing the time required for analysis, and offers a Partial analysis mode for long streams, allowing users to analyze specific sections of the file, improving efficiency and reducing the overall analysis time.

Interactive buffer analysis: VMA includes an interactive buffer analysis feature, enabling users to analyze the buffer behavior and performance of the media stream, helping in identifying buffer-related issues and optimizing the streaming experience.

Batch Mode for automation of regression tests: VMA supports Batch Mode, allowing for the automation of regression tests, where users can define a set of tests to be executed automatically on multiple media files, streamlining the testing process and improving efficiency.

Complete support for HLS, Microsoft Smooth Streaming format: VMA provides complete support for popular streaming formats such as HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and Microsoft Smooth Streaming, enabling users to analyze and validate media files in these formats, ensuring compatibility and compliance with industry standards.

Industry-proven quality checks - blockiness, blurriness, etc. to gauge video quality: VMA includes industry-proven quality checks to evaluate video quality, checking for issues such as blockiness, blurriness, and other artifacts in the encoded streams, ensuring high-quality video output and meeting industry standards.

TR101 290 Priority and CableLabs checks, T-STD buffer analysis: VMA supports TR101 290 Priority and CableLabs checks and allows users to perform T-STD buffer analysis to evaluate the buffer behavior and compliance with standards, particularly useful for broadcasters and cable operators.
