Project Description
The Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) program is providing video samples to the Consumer Digital Video Library. These are samples we create to conduct our own testing for the purposes of establishing video quality performance standards. We are sharing these samples with the public to support others researching video performance for public safety or other applications.

About CDVL
The Consumer Digital Video Library (CDVL) is a digital video library intended for researchers and developers in the fields of video processing and visual quality (both objective and subjective assessment). Progress in these areas have been limited by the availability of high-quality royalty-free test material. CDVL provides relevant video clips for different types of video processing and quality measurement applications.
