Electrical Ground Current Event Detected in Norway

I just happened to have that screenshot. If you look at the date over the picture of the Sun, it's 24 Jan 19.

The primary reason for the SPARC emulation is to run an old MPEG-2 bitstream analyzer from the 90's.

What do you use the bitstream analyzer for? And how would you read the image it produces?

Back then, it was used to develop algorithms for real-time MPEG-2 encoder silicon. It can also be used to look at strategies used by other encoders (for example, ffmpeg). MPEG-2 video is still being used today, so it's still relevant.

Here's another screenshot showing the options available with the tool. You can switch between the picture (shown), macroblock type, macroblock quantization, number of bits per macroblock, motion vectors (shown in the previous screenshot) and coded block pattern.

Is there a reason why you cannot switch to newer tools like StreamEye?
