The HardingFPA Viewer screen displays a graphical representation of the characteristics of the analysed clip, and some additional advanced diagnostic information. This allows the user to quickly and efficiently view the locations of failures or cautions in the source material, and optionally play back the areas around these failures to aid in rectifying the offending material.
The main HardingFPA Viewer window
Once a set of results (PAR, PAP and PAM files) has been opened with the HardingFPA Viewer, the screen will appear similar to that displayed below. A timeline is displayed at the bottom of the screen detailing the timecodes of the corresponding frames and whether the frame is a failed frame. Failed frames are surrounded in blue. Please note that images are only displayed in certain circumstances around failure/caution regions and if no image is present then the frame will contain the text “No Image”.
A large version of the thumbnail at the current cursor position is shown on the top left hand side of the screen.
The results can be browsed either by dragging the graph display left and right or by moving the scroll bar located at the bottom of the screen. To the right of this scroll bar there are two buttons which will move the cursor to the next or previous failure.
