EDVR WaterMark Checking Utility

In previous release, JPEG images but not AVI files exported from EDVR can be authenticated by the Image Viewer utility program. Now the WaterMark utility fulfills the need for AVI authentication. AVI files tampered with can be recognized by this utility. Note that Only AVI and JPG exported from EDVR are watermarked, not the ones from the Client software. Refer to the Release Notes for its usage.

The Calculator utility is a companion for American Dynamic's Embedded Digital Video Recorder (EDVR). The purpose of this utility is to assist users in estimating how much record time is attainable in their EDVR systems with a known hard disk drive (HDD) size. It can also be used to estimate how much hard drive space is needed for a target recording duration.
