Harding FPA / HD

icon-fpa.png

The HardingFPA-HD-SDI is designed for operation in tape-based workflows. It accepts an SDI feed, from for example, your VTR or edit system, and provides a real-time analysis capability to identify and highlight image sequences that do not comply with the Guidelines in use. The output graphics provide frame-by-frame and in-frame information about potential risks in the content, and the system can provide a printed/PDF report for your editors identifying failing sequences with time codes, a risk evaluation and thumbnail images to help identify the start and end points of the problem sequence. Many editors find it very useful having a HardingFPA system available while they work on their material, as the live graphics and the ability to check short sequences directly via an SDI output from their edit system makes the work much easier. 

If you are contemplating a move towards file-based analysis in the near future, there is also an optional file analysis module for the HardingFPA-HD/SD system. This optional module adds the ability to analyse HD/SD .MXF and .MOV files (and AVI files on Windows platforms) to the HardingFPA's HD/SD-SDI capabilty.

For exisiting users of the HFPA V2.5X SD-SDI systems there are upgrade options to bring your current system up to the new standard.
