DCA Set to Show Test and Measurement Gear

DCA Inc. will be featuring the company's newest test and measurement products, including the Aurora, an automated content verifier designed for codec and format compliance applications. It confirms syntax, stream quality and distribution format compliance, and supports many popular codecs for H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, AAC, AMR, AC3/Dolby and others. The Aurora can check for constraints on most video parameters, including bit-rate, frame size, quantization and consecutive picture lengths. It also detects frozen frames, blockiness, cadence changes and other video items. The Aurora also monitors audio for dropouts, loudness shifts and distortion. Units are available for both broadcasting and distribution applications, and also verification and monitoring of authoring processes.
