New Application From Dallmeier: PStreamConvert

PStreamConvert is an easy to use application that enables the convenient and fast conversion of any backup made by Dallmeier recording systems into a generally supported standard video format.

One for All

PStreamConvert supports the conversion of backups from all Dallmeier recording systems (DMS, DLS, VNB, DMX as of generation 4 as well as DIS-2/M) and SMAVIA Appliances. For this process, it is irrelevant which method was applied to create the backup, whether it was directly exported from the device to a CD/DVD/USB stick or performed with a Dallmeier management software (PView 7, SMAVIA Viewing Client, SeMSy^® III). All backups are supported!

Variable Output Format

Converted videos are output in an AVI container format with MPEG-4 coding, which is supported by virtually every player software. Within the container the quality of the converted videos (frame rate, bit rate, resolution) can be customised to meet individual needs and there is an option to define either the PAL or NTSC video standard.

Merging Supported

All sorts of backups can be combined during the conversion process to produce a single video file. Hence, PStreamConvert enables the assembly of a video that allows for a goal-oriented evaluation of the different perspectives of a relevant event.

Integration of Data Overlays

Displayed information (camera name, time) is transferred from the original videos / backups and reinserted into the converted video (hardcoded). Thus, a preservation of the full information content is guaranteed even for later points in time and without reference to Dallmeier systems.

Optional Text Overlay

Optionally, PStreamConvert can integrate a freely editable text field into the converted video (hardcoded). This function allows for the integration of individual supplementary data. Yet, it can also be used to mark a video for different target groups, thereby ensuring effective traceability in cases in which the video is passed on without authorisation.
