SimObserver Pro: Video Capture & Review System

SimObserver’s capture application includes a flexible video titling system that allows you to create, display, and manage overlay titles. You can define the location, size, font, color, and level of transparency of your title fields.  You can also define data sources for each field and populate them with data from external applications in real-time.

While you record a simulation using SimObserver, you can mark significant events using keystrokes on the SimObserver computer or through remote commands issued from other applications.  Events are recorded into an events file that is used to locate the events you tagged during capture. You name the events so they have contextual meaning when you seek through them. You can search through all events in Data Distillery or just those of a certain category. As you search through events, the playback system instantaneously repositions the video to the event marker, significantly reducing the time it takes to review the video. Fast play, slow play, or frame-by-frame playback, combined with event seeking, gives you a high degree of flexibility when closely analyzing simulation captures.

Video data collected with SimObserver can be synchronized with real-time data sources using Data Distillery that is included in any SimObserver’s software package. You can open data and video files and review them simultaneously. Data Distillery provides functions for graphical data display, automated event identification, and data reduction. Used together, SimObserver and Data Distillery make it possible to analyze both video and real-time data streams in the most efficient manner to date.
