Pixelmetrix introduced VISUALmpegPRO, integrating its VISUALmpeg Elementary Stream and Video Quality analyzers, to boost consistency in data verification.

The VISUALmpegPRO allows for visual inspection of all aspects of MPEG video coding right from bit rate to macroblock motion vector analysis. Attributes of the VISUALmpegPRO include Quantizer Values, Picture Frequencies, MPEG Artifacts, Frame Quality Index, DCT Coefficients and Error Logger. It supports detailed analysis of MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 Part 10 video, presenting an ideal R&D system for MPEG experts.

The VISUALmpegPRO provides several measures for video quality and covers the detection of a broad range of video distortion and quality degradation. An advanced feature of this analyzer is the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) rating. This scoring system provides a correlation between a displayed frame and its corresponding quality.

Danny Wilson, President and CEO of Pixelmetrix Corporation remarked, "Pixelmetrix VISUALmpegPRO serves to step up testing of MPEG-based advanced coding. Upgrading to this flexible software application offers customers optimum screening, coherent auditing of video content and methodical analysis of video compression."
