OverCam is an camera app that helps you rethink how you take photos — from framing and focus to lighting and retouching. The most common problems: Don’t know which angle to choose? In OverCam, you pick a reference photo and see it as a semi-transparent “ghost” over your camera preview. You immediately see how the final photo should look — all that’s left is to match your live camera angle to the reference. Struggling with composition? We’ve built in advanced grids and even golden ratio spirals to make it easier to place your subject and other objects in the frame. Having trouble with focus and depth of field? In OverCam, you can lock focus on a subject and, with the help of AI, create a depth map and adjust the focus point and blur strength even after the photo is taken. Don’t like the environment or lighting? Cutting-edge AI built into OverCam can change or enhance almost anything: retouch skin, reduce noise, change hair color, turn winter into summer, add new light sources, and more. We’ve added lots of presets, but you can also write your own detailed instructions. We’d love to grow a community of photographers around OverCam and hope it helps you develop your style and grow professionally. udevwork@gmail.com https://principled-crustacean-be6.notion.site/PRIVACY-POLICY-OverCam-c92c0c3c4aee469ebea2e79900464bcd https://principled-crustacean-be6.notion.site/TERMS-CONDITIONS-OverCam-c37710b9b5b445dd9195c4ca024371aa

About

TestGenAVSync

Features
Read full description

TestGen AV Sync turns an iPhone or iPad into a portable video and audio test-signal source, built on the same pattern-generation engine Drastic Technologies ships in its broadcast products. Point a camera at it, feed it into a capture card, hold it in frame on set, or use it to line up a monitor. The signal is generated on the device in real time — no files, no streaming, no network. WHAT IT DOES • 270 broadcast test patterns — SMPTE and EBU colour bars, PLUGE, luma and chroma ramps, multiburst, zone plates, convergence circles, grids, pixel-resolution charts, gamma strips, HDR clipping and filter charts, and much more. • Sample-accurate A/V sync markers — a phase-coded audio pulse aligned to the video frame, so you can measure lip-sync error end to end through any signal chain. • Frame-accurate timecode burn-in — HH:MM:SS:FF with drop-frame support, date stamp, or UTC. • QR frame data — every frame can carry its frame index, UTC timestamp, frame rate, pattern ID and audio phase as a machine-readable QR code, so an automated test rig can read the delay straight off a recording. • Flash cues — full-screen or edge flashes at a chosen interval for latency and shutter testing. • Multi-pattern output — show two to five different patterns at once in a split-screen layout. • Frame rates from 24 to 60 fps, including 29.97 and 59.94 with correct drop-frame timecode. • HDR output in HLG and PQ, plus Display P3 and Rec.2020 wide-gamut colour on supported devices, with an optional true 16-bit float rendering path for band-free gradients. • Presets — save a complete configuration, and export or import it as JSON to share a setup with the rest of the crew. WHO IT IS FOR Camera operators, DITs, broadcast and post engineers, AV installers, live-event and streaming technicians, QC departments, and anyone who needs a known-good reference signal without carrying a rack-mount generator. FREE AND PRO The free version generates SMPTE BT.709 75% and 100% colour bars, ARIB STD-B28 HD bars, SMPTE RP 219 bars, SMPTE 303M, a 7-step luma staircase, a grid-and-dots chart, a Rec.709 white window, a zone plate, plus full white and full black at up to 30 fps in Rec.709, with all three A/V sync audio signals and full preset support — enough to check a signal path or line up a monitor. TestGen Pro is a single one-time In-App Purchase — not a subscription — that unlocks the remaining 259 test patterns, multi-pattern layouts, the timecode, QR and flash-cue overlays, 50/59.94/60 fps, HDR (HLG and PQ) and wide-gamut output. ABOUT DRASTIC TECHNOLOGIES Drastic Technologies has built video capture, playback, conversion and analysis software for the broadcast and post-production industry since 1995. Our tools are used in television facilities, post houses and outside-broadcast trucks worldwide.
