Full-Motion, Full-Color, Digital Video Displayed on Your PC    VideoRuler includes a high performance video digitizing card. Any standard video signal (NTSC, SVHS, PAL) from a camera or VCR is digitized and displayed in a live video window on the desktop. The live video display is full-motion and full resolution at 16.7 million colors. Digitally freeze, adjust, grab, and save high quality images.

 DVD Playback  Use VideoRuler's built-in DVD player to view recorded DVD video (or hard drive mpeg2 files) for frame grabbing and measuring.

 DVD Digital Video Recording

No more video tapes! Record and distribute your video as stunning digital DVD's. VideoRuler's sophisticated digitizer includes a hardware MPEG2 video encoder.  The hardware encoder encodes and saves full motion, full size video in digital files with virtually no additional load on your PC's CPU.  Recorded video is DVD compliant.  When burned on a DVDR disk, it is viewable on standard DVD players.

VideoRuler’s most powerful feature is the ability to make precision measurements in video images. Measurement is as simple as clicking and dragging with the mouse cursor. Standard measurement tools include Lines, Circles, Rectangles, and Polygons. Several image-scaling choices are available that tailor the measuring routine to specific applications. The LazrLyne calibration option even measures 3-Dimensional height and depth. Counting and density calculation tools are also included.
