	Video Demo Available	Summary of Features
Workflow Video
	Digital Video Evidence Workflow	Workflow Overview Video of a simple yet effective process for digital video (DVR) evidence clarification using DVR dCoder and ClearID for Adobe Photoshop
Capturing Video
	Capturing Digital Surveillance	DVR dCoder is designed to aid in the capture of digital surveillance files (including proprietary format) into a uncompressed copy so you can continue to process your evidence using you dTective/ClearID tools.
	Digitizing Analog Video	Digitize full-screen (720 x 486) uncompressed NTSC video from any composite, component, S-Video, DV or MPEG 50 video source with no quality degradation.
	NTSC Standard Video	Digitize video at the industry standard 720 x 486 pixel matrix (349,920 pixels), ensuring analysis of every pixel.
Analyzing Video
	Avid Timeline	Containing up to 24 video and audio tracks, the Avid Timeline gives you unparalleled flexibility when examining forensic video.
	De-Interlacing	dTective allows an analyst to de-interlace field based video, allowing up to 60 images per second to be analyzed.
	De-Multiplexing	Using dPlex Pro, demultiplex multiple camera views at once, then interactively select which demultiplexed camera views you would like to view. Save as individual video clips and/or as "matrix" video clips - a single video clip with up to sixteen individual camera views playing simultaneously.
	Time-Lapse Footage	Convert time-lapse video into real time using the Avid Motion Effect.
Processing Video
	Frame Averaging	Using dVeloper, remove noise and video graininess through a time-lapse processing technique called frame averaging.
	Highlighting/Masking	Using SpotLight, an analyst can highlight an area of video or just as easily obscure an area to hide sensitive information.
	Resizing Video	Using MAGNIFi, enlarge a section of the video and display the result either full screen or to a user defined portion of the screen.
	Image Stabilization	An analyst simply draws a region of interest box around an unstable area of video and allows the computer to track and stabilize the video.
	Color Correction	The easy-to-use color correction tools analyze and correct poor lighting and compensate for camera dome filters to recover the accurate colors of the original scene.
	Picture-in-Picture	The ability to display one moving image within another offers dynamic, side-by-side comparisons, demonstrating consistencies between known images and suspect images.
	Comparative Analysis	Reverse Projection and reliable height analysis are made easy with the Avid superimpose feature.
	Title Tool	Avid includes a powerful titling package, which can be used to help explain complicated video evidence.
	Time code AVX	The Time code AVX plug-in allows the Forensic Video Analyst to timestamp security video images to within 1/60th of a second.
Managing Media
	Database Features	As Avid digitizes, it automatically creates a database on which the analyst can perform custom search, sort and sift functions.
	Consolidating	Upon completion of an investigation, Avid allows the analyst to discard video and audio clips no longer required for disclosure purposes.
	Case Notes (Locators)	An analyst can quickly and easily annotate video evidence using locators to provide on-screen case notes.
	Meta Sync	Avid Systems provide twenty-four tracks for synchronized metadata, linking any digital investigative asset directly to the video evidence. Assets include word processing documents, spreadsheets, e-mail, digital photos or virtually any digital file that can be accessed on a computer.
	Script-Based Editing	A transcript of a suspect or witness interview or of an undercover operation can be aligned to the audio and video. A simple word search can locate a specific word, phrase, or sentence and then cue and play the video from that point.
Audio Tools
	Audio Suite	The audio capabilities of Avid can be further extended with Audio Suite plug-ins. These third-party tools tackle advanced forensic audio applications like dynamic noise reduction and hiss removal.
	Quick Enhance AS	Optional to the dTective system, Quick Enhance/AS is perfect for quickly reducing interfering noise problems and extracting intelligible speech signals from audio captured on audio and video surveillance tapes.
Evidence Disclosure
	Exporting	Export to over two dozen industry-standard file formats, create an entire sequence of uncompressed still images containing every image of a suspect caught on tape or encodes to all major digital video formats including AVI, Quick Time, WMV and MPEG.
	CD/DVD Burning	Each dTective system ships with a CD/DVD burner, as well as CD/DVD creation software.
