“The video editing community needed an effective, affordable way to rescue shaky video post-capture and proDAD answered with Mercalli. “Mercalli took the market by storm when it was launched in 2008” said Andreas Huber, Managing Director of proDAD. Both versions can render stabilized HD or SD video in real time. Rolling-shutter is distortion of the video introduced by many CMOS digital cameras/camcorders, giving the appearance of wobble, Jello, or skew towards the bottom of the frame when the camera is panned quickly. Also new in Mercalli Pro & SAL is highly effective rolling-shutter compensation. Both versions incorporate exclusive SmartBorder™ options which significantly reduce the need to zoom-in like other solutions, keeping the video borders intact. Because 3D stabilization is so effective, a unique “Dynamic Camera” mode feature allows very precise control of the stabilization to retain the video’s character. Mercalli Pro & SAL both offer highly effective rescue of shaky video in post production/editing thanks to brand-new 3D (X, Y, and Z camera axis) stabilization technology which is an order of magnitude improvement over current stabilization technologies currently available in the market.
