Video and image evidence, examined
Footage from recorders, drives and phones, decoded through the recorder registry, stepped frame by frame, redacted, enhanced in a recorded processing graph, and examined for authenticity. Every clip exports losslessly with its provenance, sealed into the shared case.
Licensed by a key bound to one machine, sold by the drive or image.

A real screenshot of version 20.54.3.2, captured from the shipping build on this bench. Nothing on the site is a mock-up.

What this release adds to SakshyaYantra Media
Each item is in the shipping build of this product; the others in the range that carry it are named on the card.
Evidence player and frame pack
Clips play from the disk. A frame pack - a few captured frames, each with its presentation time, decoded index, overlay time, case time, channel, source hash and its own SHA-256 - is the only unit that leaves the machine. Never the video.
Three times, never merged
The stream's presentation time, the recorder's overlay text and the case time are separate fields with separate uncertainty, on screen, in the pack and in the report.
Sealed reading before AI
The examiner's own reading is sealed before any model answer is shown. A model's response is an AI observation - model, version, prompt, input hashes, time, verbatim text - never a finding unless a reviewer promotes it by a typed decision.
AI optional: none, local or cloud
Three modes in every build: none, a local model pack with no internet, or cloud behind a per-agency switch that is off by default, with a transfer manifest of every frame digest that left.
Enhancement beside the original
An enhanced frame is shown beside the original, never instead of it, with the chain of operations printed beneath and both exported.
Authenticity, plates, registry, certificate
Authenticity checks with every method ranked, number-plate assistance, registry intake, and the certificate under Section 63(4) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023.
What this product is bought for
If the situation below matches yours, this is the right product. If none of them do, another product in the range is likely to be a closer fit, and the last section on this page says which.
A recorder export has to be read, hashed and decoded so that every frame shown later can be traced back to it.
A bystander's face or a voice has to be masked before disclosure, and the redaction has to be shown to be irreversible.
Footage is too dark, too small or distorted and needs enhancement that a court can see was measured, not invented.
The authenticity of a clip or an image is in question and the finding has to rest on methods a reviewer can check.
How SakshyaYantra Media is built
Three clocks, never merged
A frame's presentation ticks, the recorder's overlay text and the case time stay separate fields with their own uncertainty, on screen, in the frame pack and in the report.
The enhanced frame beside the original
An enhancement is a recorded graph of validated operations, shown next to the original and never instead of it, with both exported and the chain printed beneath.
The frame pack leaves the machine, never the video
A few captured frames, each with its presentation time, decoded index, overlay text, case time, channel, source hash and its own SHA-256, are the only unit that leaves the machine.
What SakshyaYantra Media does
Decode ladder and recorder registry
Container, index, raw stream, then salvage, with the rung that produced each frame recorded. A recorder registry carries signed entries for tested makes and models; others fall back to cameras inferred from stream identity, never an invented channel.
Frame-accurate review
Step by frame or keyframe with gaps reported, never interpolated, and clips played, cut and downloaded from the disk.
Redaction under typed review
A mask across frames is released only on a named reviewer's typed decision, and audio redaction is shown to be irreversible.
Enhancement in a recorded graph
Validated filters - deblur, stabilisation, lens-distortion correction, super-resolution from an interval - each recorded, measured, and shown beside the original.
Authenticity workbench
Integrity, tamper and camera-identification checks that rank each hypothesis with the evidence for and against it, rather than returning a score.
Plate assistance, gallery and geolocation
Number-plate assistance from a signed local model pack, the media gallery, and a geolocation map - each result an observation for the examiner, not a finding.
Lossless export and the certificate
Every clip is exported without re-encoding, with its provenance and hashes, and the draft Section 63(4) certificate is drawn from the case's own records.

The rest of the range
This page lists what the product does. Each product in the range is built for its own job, and what every one of them does is set out, product by product, on the products page, generated from the build itself. Hardware cases (drives that do not spin, locked phones, encrypted volumes) are covered in the hardware help guide.

| File types recovered | 269 formats carried in the signature table, searched together with file system parsing. |
| Access to the source | Read-only for the whole session. The application refuses a destination on the drive being read. |
| Licensing | A signed key bound to this machine's code, verified offline. Sold by the source: one use is one drive or image, and the same source is free afterwards. No account and no activation server. Nothing leaves the machine unless the operator uses a network feature this product contains (the optional AI provider); every other connection to the public internet is refused by default. There is no telemetry and no update check. |
| Before a key | Scan, browse and preview without a key; the key is asked for when files are first saved from a source. |
| Dependencies | None to install. The forensic family bundles its own media and analysis libraries inside the installer; nothing is fetched at run time. |
| How it is supplied | Through the partner programme. The build is 833 MB; its SHA-256 is shown beside the download in your partner dashboard. |
Where the rest of the range fits
These products carry workspaces SakshyaYantra Media does not. The list is derived from the catalogue, so it cannot point at a product that lacks the capability too.
