PQASW
Next generation compression algorithms are
increasing the complexity of CODEC designs
– Raises the importance of chrominance
measurements and 10 bit measurements.
The PQASW addresses the need to scale
Picture Quality measurements in terms of the
speed and portability of the analysis
platform, the Picture Quality scores, and the
analysis depth.
– The Advanced Analysis Option (Opt ADV)
has a 10 bit measurement execution, and a
Color PSNR measurement with Vector
Display.
– For evaluation and trials of transcoders, the
PQASW includes an optional embedded
reference decoder and IP interface (Opt IP).
