Description
----------------------------------------------------------------

Calyp is an open-source video player with the following features:
- Support for libavformat and libavcodec;
- Support for wide range of raw video formats;
- Support up to 16 bits per pixel
- Support for OpenCV image/video processing library
- Advanced frame zoom with easy to use pan function
- Synchronized zoom across several videos (perfect for comparison operations)
- Useful information in status bar, *e.g.*, pixel information
    Useful sidebars with frame information, *e.g.*, frame histogram
- Constant growing libs for stream and frame processing (CalypStream and CalypFrame)
- Advanced API for frame/video processing algorithms
- Frame level quality measurement API based on the CalypFrame class
- Powefull command-line tool for quality and frame processing algorithms (uses the referred APIs)
