See how your digital video is behaving, whether it’s in real time or off line.
Our API library includes a real time multi-function Waveform Monitor, a Vectorscope, a Histogram function and an RGB/YUV parade function in both SD and HD color spaces.
RHMG HomeDVD video measurement SDK
Now you can easily integrate a set of software based video test tools into your next video engineering application ensuring your video levels, color balance, saturation and luminance distribution are where you want them to be.
These video test measurement instruments have been a real boon to our film to HD video imaging system development. Knowing the video properties of the converted film frames as they were captured live ensure that the final output YUV video files are well within specification for proper AVCHD, H.264, MP4 and MPEG-2 post production work. We are now making these video functions available to video system developers.
Our API library offers operation in both standard definition (SD using BT.601) and high definition (HD using BT.709) color spaces, it enables auto window scaling, it can do multiple instances of itself, engage auto sampling/decimating along with many other features. Our User Guide will have the details – see download below.
The current video SDK release supports both file based uncompressed 24bit RGB bitmaps and provide a pointer to an array of RGB values as an input source. Live video streaming using containers like AVI is not supported at this time.
Supplying either live image sequences in real-time or re-calling stored image sequences for off-line post work, these video test functions will do work for you.

The Video Software Development Kit (SDK) comes with a series of library functions in DLL form and a Developers Users Guide. The guide will contain information on the video instruments along with sample code descriptions.
Update Update [March 3, 2012]
Version 2 of this SDK has been revamped. It is underway and is built on our work done on the MultiScopeLite product. Issues relating to 64bit O/S compliance are fixed. The video scope DLL’s are now functional libraries and can be easily plugged in into the *.Net interface for use in C# and VB 32 bit and 64 bit developments. Planned release is April 2012.
Purchasers of Version 1.0 of this SDK, will be offered a 1/2 price discount for Version 2.
Important Note:
There is no support for this product other than pre-sales consultation. It is expected when using any SDK in general the developer is already familiar with software development environments, the technical subject and coding principles. The included users and developers guide has all the information needed to yield a successful integration. These software tools are no different. Follow the examples, the sample code, the install and distribution suggestions in the developers guide.
* We haven’t tested the compiled software on all Windows operating systems, particularly 64 bit. We do not expect problems as there are no driver and DLL dependencies anywhere in our SDK, other than the OpenGL drivers that come with all display cards these days.
OpenGL v1.0 or later is all that is needed. The video instrument software is coded in pure C code with basic Windows headers. The test application and test images are available as a download below and will show how this suite of video measurement tools work.
