Equipment and Software
AVFL uses the latest digital audio/video enhancement tools available.

Super Resolution technology can reconstitute lost details from cell phone and low resolution IP surveillance video. We can compensate for the poorly exposed video by analyzing the entire video, or just a region of interest to adjust brightness, contrast and gamma to bring out more detail. We can remove noise and video graininess. When the target remains still for even a moment, video noise and other transient items like rain and snow are removed, revealing the details hidden beneath.
