Sarnoff Compliance Bitstreams™ are a powerful set of tools to evaluate the performance of video decoders [1]. Major manufacturers of video receivers, service providers, and IC designers use these products to test decoder designs and verify their ability to decode complex digital video [2] and HDTV signals reliably and correctly. Sarnoff Compliance Bitstreams use Emmy®-winning technology and are the de facto industry standard.
Compliance Bitstreams are comprehensive, systematic and remarkably easy to use. Our patented visual verification techniques simplify and accelerate test procedures, eliminating the need for data capture and analysis and thus speeding time-to-market. Combined with our decades of expertise in digital television [3], Sarnoff Compliance Bitstreams are the tools of choice for compliance verification — from MPEG-based and H.264 platforms to DTV Program Guides and Closed Captioning.
