The combination of the Honeywell router platform and Digital Harmonic’s Keyframe software enable users of edge devices to dramatically increase the quality of the video feeds captured and received through Keyframe’s unique processing power of scene recognition, temporal smoothing, video quality enhancement, and color enhancement while pre-processing the video for more efficient encoding for transmission. Keyframe has been able to demonstrate video quality metric improvement that can then be delivered at up to 80% less bitrate needed to transmit the video while retaining or even enhancing the initial video quality.  

As a software only add-on to the router platform, Keyframe operates in real-time without needing any additional power requirements, thereby staying within the original size, weight or power requirements of the router or edge device – a critical requirement for Honeywell solutions. “What excites us at Honeywell is the ability to add such critical enhancement software to our platform without having to make any material changes to our current router platform. In all cases, the quality, speed, and size of video transmissions are mission critical and Digital Harmonic’s Keyframe solution gives us a unique competitive advantage to deliver higher quality video at less bandwidth for critical decision making,” said JP Raines, Honeywell BO. 

Scott Haiges, CEO of Digital Harmonic added, “we also see another major benefit here when Keyframe delivers higher quality video feeds, the downstream machine learning applications for tagging, tracking, detection, or classification are by proxy dramatically improved, so there is a triple threat here and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Honeywell to deliver such a solution.”

How it works

Straightforward solution. Clear configuration.

PurePixel can process full-motion video at less than a frame delay
(< 30ms/frame at 1080p) and stream or store the output. PurePixel provides a full web User Interface (UI) and Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API) for configuration and operation, and it can be easily configured as a “bump-in-the-wire” in any real-time image, video, or stream processing workflow.
PurePixel operates on commercial graphical processing units (GPU), either on-site or in the cloud, and does not require custom hardware or firmware a zero lift integration.

Application Areas

• Health care and medical technology
• Federal, state, and local government projects
• Remote and airborne operations
• Aviation and vehicular safety
• Energy industry
• Non-penetrating inspection

How it works

Deliver crystal clear content at lower bandwidth. Zero degradation.

Keyframe integrates where you need it

Keyframe operates on the server side pre-encode or on the client-side for up-sampling. Our flexible bump-in-the wire solution allows for upstream bandwidth reductions in situations where the client is not modifiable.

Mason Baron, Digital Harmonic’s Chief Technology Officer, lends some insight into the what and the why of automated quality metrics in his webinar: Using Automated Quality Metrics to Optimize Streaming Efficiency to All Devices. During this webinar Mason discusses how to use automated video metrics to avoid some of the most common pitfalls we’ve seen when working with cable and over the top streaming customers. Read on for some of the highlights from his presentation.

WHY USE VIDEO METRICS?

Ultimately, perceived quality is what matters in the video entertainment industry. The viewer has to think it looks good. Historically, the industry has relied on engineers or analysts known as “Golden Eyes” to determine what passes and fails perceived quality tests. Golden Eyes have been highly trained to understand what “good enough” actually looks like and, while they are excellent at what they do, the scale of assessment can be too large to handle 100% of the quality control. We’re talking about 7,500 channels or millions of minutes of VOD being pushed out to viewers. That’s where metrics come in. A video analyst can look at the content that’s been run through comparison tools to more efficiently determine what passes the perceived quality test. Utilizing metrics can save time and money, especially when they are used in the right combination.

METRIC SELECTION

When measuring video quality on a scale of 0 – 100, 80 is considered the bare minimum of good, while 100 is considered the best possible quality. Even though the average viewer has no idea of the complexity of what it takes to get video to its final destination, anything below 80 just isn’t going to fly with today’s consumer. That’s why it’s important to understand select metrics for each viewing device. 

Everything that distributes video – mobile phones, tablets, tv’s, etc – occupy different levels on the AVR ladder. As a video content provider you can’t treat each device in the same way. It’s easier to get higher quality video on mobile devices because the screen is smaller than a monitor or big screen. So how do you deliver higher quality at a significantly lower bandwidth when your content is being viewed across multiple devices? By simplifying your distribution ladder. 

DISCOVER HOW

There is enhancement technology that allows the same encoding ladder to be used for both HD and UHD pipelines. In many cases, this technology removes the need for more rungs on the ladder, enabling you to reconstruct 1080p code into 4k content without having to put anything on the receiver. The less rungs you have on your ladder, the more money you’ll save on distribution costs.
