Analysis - TV & Video

The HardingFPA broadcast systems are designed to analyse television broadcast video type material to verify compliance with the various TV/Broadcast Guidelines in force around the world (e.g. OfCom, ITU, NAB-J) that safeguard and protect photosensitive viewers from TV induced epileptic seizures.

The video content for analysis can range from television programs, adverts and promotions, and digital signage to films and DVDs. Each of these types of content has the potential to contain harmful image sequences and all have been shown to trigger photosensitive epileptic seizures.

HardingFPA systems can be applied at any point in the production process - allowing agencies, production and post-production companies, and broadcasters to use it in-house to provide immediate answers to the compliance question. The HardingFPA range of systems offer interfaces to a wide range of video sources including digital SDI and HDMI, analogue component, S-Video and Composite signals and file-based assets.

The HardingFPA products for broadcast applications are introduced below, please feel free to contact us for more information to help you select the right system for your needs.

    The free Whitedot Viewer is a new way to review and look at results from a HardingFPA analysis. It can be used instead of the PDF report to aid editors in fixing failed regions of material.

    The Viewer provides a means by which to visualise the problems preventing material from passing the HardingFPA analysis, giving the user more useful information that can be used in the editing process.

    Use the Viewer to share results from HardingFPA analyses across multiple editor workstations.
