Informational and Demo VideoPurchase securely with Paypal OverviewRHMG introduces a first in our line of real-time software video tools, for measuring, monitoring, calibrating and analyzing video input streams. MultiScopeLite provides a standard set of calibrated video scopes, a high resolution video monitor and a series of easy to use setup screens which have been nicely integrated within a single user interface. Real-time video input data is processed and displayed on four independent video scopes simultaneously: a waveform monitor, a vectorscope, a dual selectable RGB/YUV parade scope and a four channel luma RGB histogram scope. The integrated video monitor handles both 4:3 and 16:9 size video resolutions. MultiScopeLite interfaces quite easily with many Windows based consumer and professional video capture devices supporting both SD and HD video resolutions. Capture devices can be PCI, PCIe, Ethernet, USB or Thunderbolt based. Just install the MultiScopeLite software and it will automatically link to the appropriate installed video driver and begin live streaming of your video to the user interface. Each video measuring scope has uniquely calibrated graticules and can present video renderings in a number of standard scaling factors and in industry recognized SMPTE SD and HD color spaces. The scope displays can be adjusted to show various degrees of data detail depending on the display update speed wanted. Using our PSE engine, the quality of the data rendering will primarily be determined by the computing power of the installed platform. Slower single core PC’s will output a slower or coarser display rendition, in contrast to faster more finer details in the data display on high performance multi-core computers. MultiScopeLite is a great and simple piece of video test equipment for post production work, small production venues in the field, for professional videographers and for digital video system developers. Our MultiScopePro version now under development will support many more features and have professional functionality added. A more comprehensive tool to aid broadcast and television engineering requirements in the studio and to offer professional analytics capability in assessing image quality factors like signal to noise, dynamic range and contrast ratio among others in lab environments. Note: MultiScopeLite does not support audio.
Offer…We can test other video capture cards in PCI or PCIe bus architecture that support serial interfaces like SDI and HDMI. Call us for more information. Most video capture devices that support standard Windows compliant WDM media drivers will work with our product. If you are not sure about your video card please call us at 877-397-3971 or email us at [email protected]. We can test your video capture card to verify compatibility. Just send the card and the driver CD to us and we will test the card and modify our software if needed. You just pay for to/from shipping of your capture card. Equally, you can test the card yourself by simply downloading our Trial version and trying it out yourself.

We can then create a more feature rich version designed for a wider range of video based applications like: – surveillance, broadcasting support, TV station apps, video system development apps and more.
Please post any comments you have in the Comments box below. |
Well, we’ve got the whole system up and running. and we are very pleased with MultiScope’s performance. An excellent alternative to the other WFM/vector scopes available out there.
I’ve found that changing the preferences for the text and Icon Size in the Display Options of the Personalization control panel to anything other than default causes problems. Somehow the Icon and Text magnification preferences affect the way the MultiScope is drawn on the screeen. Setting this value to “Smaller -100% (default) instead of 125% or 150% corrects the problem.”
All in all great product, wonderful support, and easy to buy and install. Great work Rumble House. We are excited to see the Pro version and look forward to including Multiscope in all our digital test and verification systems.

Thanks Jason for your great feedback and comments.
We are now well into defining the Pro version for Multiscope and would like to hear from the community on what you liked or not, about the current version of MultiScope. Equally, if you have any ideas or preferences on what you would like to see in the Pro version please let me know.
The main features we plan to incorporate into the Pro version is a higher performance multi-threaded data engine, multi-channel audio support (VU, DFT, bar displays with various calibrations), capture and storage of broadcast quality video files and a viewer, an updated Histogram with more stats data, scientific modules that measure SNR, dynamic range etc of the video signal, a rebuilt GUI, plus more stuff. If there are any other meaningful suggestions a video pro could use please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
We downloaded the 3 day trial but it is not fully functional as the youtube video suggests as the video waveform monitor is not functional. The youtube video display of the waveform monitor also looks terrible. Is the youtube video the actual representation of the composite waveform with sync? Is the time base selectable ie: horz or vert?
Yes, the trial version does not have the waveform monitor function enabled. We plan to re-release the trial fully functional soon. The Youtube video is out of date and needs to be updated. The newer version of Multiscope now offers 1280×720 resolution and the waveform monitor scaling has been fixed. What is it about the waveform monitor that is terrible? Your specific feedback would be welcome to share with our followers. The digital scopes do not show any sync and does not have any timebase adjustments or vertical/horizontal adjustments.
This software only captures the image but I want it to capture the waveform in the image is this possible

Where’s the Audio metering for SDI signals?
Jason,
The current version of MultiScope does not support audio. We are building the spec for the pro version which will include support for audio. Bill
Building the spec?! LOL! It’s a travesty that it wasn’t part of the original buiild! LOL! But I won’t beat you up too much about that. The app looks great! Hopefully our testing will prove it more useable than Vidscope.
In the Audio Spec, Be sure to provide different scales, A-Weighted, DbV, DbU, and so on. The meteres should be standard colors, green yellow red, changeable maybe, but not nec., have enough “throw” to be capable of differentiating 1db, and an audio Phase meter!! PLEASE!! LOL!
A cool feature would also be the ability to MARK the scale with reference points that easily inform the user whether the audio channels fall into a desired range. and an audio phase meter.
And support for at least 8 channels embedded, That would be great. You could triple or quadruple the price, with those features alone. but only if you add the Audio Phase meter. :) Thanks!
Mick
Not at this point. It sounds like an idea for the update. Can you flesh out this idea in more detail? Bill
Jason,
Yoow… Your cup runneth over. You must be an audio guy. When you are referring to phase, is this for stereo or relationships between more than two channels? Are you in a broadcast environment? Bill
Software update v1.0.0.5
MultiScopeLite now supports Thunderbolt video interface. Also dual screen resolution facility will be released by Monday March 11th, 2013, that is 1280×720 and 1920×1080. In addition, the display data range is now unlocked to provide full range luma. Get our trial and lets us know your comments. Bill
Hi there when are you going to make an OSX version ?
Robert,
Good question. It is an item in our long term revision update. But not in the next years I would say.
There are a number of MAC versions of this type of software. Did you check those out?
What is it about MultiScope that is appealing to you? I would like your feedback.
Bill
Hi,
This is great news! I have been trying to find software scopes (for reasonable price) for PC for quite some time.
I installed the trial but it seems to be functioning somewhat strange. Part of the software layout goes “beyond” or out side of the program window so that they are not visible nor accessible. It also creates a lot of errors in the “console” window? Is this just the trial? I tried the software on Core2duo 3,16GHz system with only 2gig ram and it seems a bit unresponsive so I try it on my main edit computer later to see if that helps.
Hi,
The application only runs on 1920×1080 screen resolution. Try the app with a larger screen setting. What errors are you seeing?
We are working on a 1280x720p version, hopefully in the next few weeks.
Bill
[...] Multiscope Lite – 49$ – Pc [...]
Great idea and reminds me of our old Techtronics displays in my former broadcast TV days. What I don’t understand is why we need a hardware interface. If we’re editing file based HD video on a modern NLE like Lightworks, FCP, Avid etc, why can’t the video data be sent straight to Multiscope Lite?
Craig,
MultiscopeLite is used in a real-time environment where video signals can be adjusted on-the-fly if need be before committing to broadcast or recording. Unlike NLE tools; Premiere, FCP, etc, that use video scopes like a waveform monitor and vectorscope in a post environment. The recorded files already exist. These types of measurement tools are already integrated into many quality NLE tools that allow for any adjustment after the fact. In the latter case there is no need for a hardware interface, ie: capture devices, as the video files are available to do any post process work. I have not seen any product that offers both real-time monitoring and post support using the same video tools.
MultiscopeLite is a real-time software measurement and monitoring tool, that requires some kind of video interface to capture and process the incoming video. Our software tool can be modified to both capture and store the video streams as files, but we do not have that facility just yet. Equally we could re-design the product to handle both real-time and post created files. I’m not sure that is in the cards just yet. Bill
Absoluting AMAZING peace of software !!!
almost perfect.
I will like to have just the I, Q, U, V, lines in Vectorcope and rulers on the x an y axys.
In any case almost best than Blackmagic.
You guys did a great work !!
Any policy to upgrade from lite to pro ? When will be relased ?
Massimo
Massimo,
Thanks for the great feedback. We are just finishing one last revision on our Lite version where smaller screen resolution of 1280×720 will be incorporated. We have had lots of feedback on that point. We will look at the alternate form of calibration lines for the Vectorscope as you pointed out, but no guarantees. The Pro version is well into 2013. It will have many more features and functionality.
Bill
Shame the program is only configured for HD (1920×1080) monitors. Looks good. Interested in this product. Perhaps adding a few other resolution options, in my case 1366×768. Here’s hoping.
All the Best.
Peter,
We have been wrestling with this issue during development. Being a first release, we had to keep some elements of the design simple. Dynamic scaling is a big deal. A large standard screen like 1920×1080 seemed like the way to go from a trending point of view, bigger video ports, more resolution. Our Pro release later this year will have a few fixed resolutions. Bill
I would like to try the software. I will be using a BMD intensity shuttle for USB 3.0
I need trial MultiScopeLite.
Damian
Thanks for your request. We are close to final testing and will get you a trial version probably in a few weeks. What is your application?
