SakshyaYantra, digital forensics

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.

Who it is forCCTV and video examiners, image-authenticity analysts and forensic media laboratories - the work a lab would otherwise take to Amped.

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.

Typical cases

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.

Key points

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.

Capabilities

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.

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.
