First, all the commercial HEVC analyzers are too expensive.
Second, we need to draw additional graphics on the analysis results. It supports custom filters. In fact, all the features are implemented via custom filters.
Program structures (coming soon)
How to write a custom filter (coming soon)

Support YUV420 (8bit) bitstream.
For historical reasons, besides formal HEVC bitstream, it also supports bitstreams generated by older HM encoders (HM-4.0, HM-5.2, HM-10.0 and HM-12.0).
