Video Editing Work Station (ViEWS)

 

 

ViEWS provides a powerful video editing and enhancement capability to the NetWatch Suite. Video can be reviewed, broken into sample clips or built up into multi-camera large clips. Video clips can be enhanced and edited to include personal privacy (blurring).

 

Video can be reproduced in native format (sub master) or in any standard Windows video formats (copy). Although video is usually downloaded from the NetWatch system ViEWS provides a PAL input that allows legacy VCR tapes to be processed.

 

Video evidence is usually exported to CD or DVD media but ViEWS provides for a legacy PAL output so that SVHS tapes can also be generated.

 

 

 

 

NetWatch Video ‘Replay’ Tools

 

The ViEWS software suite includes a powerful digital video playback and analysis package. The one off ViEWS licence permits the user to copy this playback software onto all CDs produced by ViEWS containing digital video .nvs files.

 

In addition to providing a general-purpose video replay function, the Video Player package enables users to view time synchronised multiple images in separate 'windows' on PC monitors.

 

 

 

Search Tools

 

Powerful search tools enable automatic searches for objects moving into or out of selected areas. Set the search running and the system will notify you audibly when it has detected an object, it then stops the play sequence for operator review.

Enhancement Tools

 

Video enhancement uses integration and re-sampling techniques along with brightness and contrast adjustments, turning the original and cropped image into a more detailed image.

 

Note these processes are applied in real time to the video as it is reviewed.

These enhancements allow operators (and the Visual Intelligence – MIST system) to see detail that would otherwise go unnoticed.

 

 

 

 

Personal Privacy Editing Tools

 

The ViEWS software suite includes a personal privacy editor to facilitate compliance with data protection regulations when video is to be reviewed by third parties. In addition to the PPE, ViEWS has an optional Evidence Submission Manager facility where a log of video data submissions and distribution is produced to a controlled procedure.
