VeeScopeLive is the first application of its kind to provide live chroma keying, high and low video brightness Zebra patterns all being performed on your graphics card of your computer. VeeScopeLive take live video feeds from any Quicktime compatible input, such as Firewire, or a live capture card and in resolutions from SD to HD. VeeScopeLive allows you to adjust the brightness, hue, and saturation ranges for the key interactively while you are shooting. In addition, you can set maximum level Zebras for white levels and minimum level Zebras for black levels. VeeScopeLive does this work using Apple's Core Image in high resolution 4:4:4 color space.
VeeScopeLive, also, provides a VectorScope and WaveForm monitor that overlays directly on top of the video preview, thus reducing the clutter of having to manage multiple windows when you are on a live shoot. VeeScopLive provides a full screen preview, in addition to, the windowed user interface. The Price of VeeScopeLive will be $100 for SD and HD. An HDV will be available as a separate application for an additional $50. This will be VeeScopeLive's world debut.
