dvrconv and engine update

Hello everyone and welcome to the newest update of Amped DVRConv and Amped Engine. With this update, we bring you support for the SYNAV format manufactured by Synectics, which was already implemented in our latest release of Amped FIVE.

Decoding Formats

Forensic support for the Synectics Synergy SYNAV format has been eagerly awaited by many and there are several reasons why this has now been possible. The first is a new multi-file restructuring process built directly into Amped Engine. Many modern video management systems utilize multi-file storage for their data. Building a handler for these file types was the first stage.

The second was the commitment from Synectics to ensure that their recorded data could be dealt with forensically when required. We thank them for their support in our development of the new SYNAV decoder.

As well as full compatibility with the SYNAV format, we have also added support for 3 new formats and 8 new variations of already-supported formats.
