(Security Media Player)

Security Media Player (SMP) is a great performance movie reader able to operate with many major video formats.

From research and development of three-dimensional movies, SMP has been created. SMP has true power, high colour preservation and extra high sound quality reproduction. SMP is also a powerful tool to make searches in the visual perception and optic effects fields.

In general Security Media Player is endowed with a large set of functions with which it is possible to do a complete visual analysis of films and images and therefore its use is also suitable for the laboratories of medicine, police investigations, every type of scientific research, etc.

SMP because of its ability to show images, film and composite lists of images and film, is also a powerful tool for the presentation of commercial products, for generic data presentation or as a good aid for scholastic teaching.

SMP can easily work with high frames/second speed and it doesn't have any problems if the films are of great pixels dimensions or have ben compressed inefficiently.

SMP produces such spectacular results that generally those who have tried it once use SMP forever.

The great performances and the high quality are determined by the fact that SMP doesn't have remarkable dependence on your hardware.
SMP is pure software and it doesn't require DirectX, video accelerators or RAM buffers.
The image below demonstrates the low hardware resources required by SMP to show a full screen movie (1280 x 800).

The word "Security" has been added to the name of our player because your privacy is always perfectly protected.
The reader is able to directly read encrypted images and has the functions to encrypt/decrypt any type of file.
To increase the operational safety and your privacy 3D Gugle has also the function of "True delete" to delete files from your disk permanently.

Besides:
SMP doesn't record in any place in your computer the list of the films or image that you have seen.
SMP doesn't contain software spies and it doesn't make any hidden internet connections.

The Player

To activate SMP, select from the menu: "Movie", "Security Media Player".

The use of the various functions of SMP is very easy and intuitive.

Note
To hide/reveal the controls dialogue-box of SMP click on the image to toggle

Button "Zoom"
This button open the Zoom LAB and widens the window of Security Media Player.

To change the zoom effect use the scroll-bar while to show the hidden areas drag the rectangle in the green panel with the mouse.
The function of Zoom is active both for the film and for images. For the films it is also active in the "Stopped" state.
If you click with the mouse on the green screen the screen colour changes to red.
When the panel is red the keyboard is active and with the arrow keys you can move the screen. To alter the speed use the "Shift" key with the arrow keys.

Note
To increase the quality of the zoom you can modify the parameters of "Direct 3D" and "OpenGL" settings to the max value.

Button "Normal"
This button shows the single file or a whole PlayList at the proper size of the file. If the file is bigger than the screen the size is reduced to the maximum screen dimension.
When this function is active the video screen can be resized with the mouse.

Button "Fix"
This button shows the single file or a whole PlayList at a fixed dimension. The dimension is determined by the screen size.
To change the size of the screen you use the mouse.

Button "Max"
This button shows at "full screen" the movie or the image or the complete PlayList. To close the "full screen" use the button "Normal".

Button "Load"
To load a film or an image or a series of film and images use the button "Load".
The dialogue of open file is in multi-open state. In other words you can open one or more files with only one action.
The rules of the multi-file selection are the same rules of MS-Windows.

The file formats used by SMP are:

>> Images: *.jpg; *.bmp; *.png; *.wdp; *.crp; *.crm; *.gna
>> Film: *.avi; *.mpg;*.mpeg; *.mpeg; *.mpe; *.mp2; *.m1v; *.wmv; *.wma; *.vob; *.qt; *.mov
>> Crypted file *.enf"

The *.crp format is an encrypted image. The encrypted image is visible in the preview and in the screen only if you insert a correct password. *.crp is a "GUG Soft" owner’s format.

The *.crm format is an encrypted image. This type of encrypted image is for the exclusive use of SMP, *.crm is a "GUG Soft" owner’s format.
The formats "*.crp" and "*.crm" are directly read from SMP without to preventive decrypt.
To use the encrypted format is necessary to create a password.
To insert a password from the menu "File" select "Preference" and then "Set image file type".

The *.gna format is a high speed compression image. This format is used by the frames or as a normal image.
*.gna is "GUG Soft" owner’s format.

The *.enf format is a generic encrypted file.
With this format you can encrypt/decrypt images, movies and any type of file.
*.enf is a "GUG Soft" owner’s format.
To use and read the "*.enf" file requires decryption.

When you use the button "OK" in the open dialogue the new selected file(s) are added to the PlayList.

For further information about the open dialogue see the specific page of Open/Save Dialogue

To encrypt/decrypt any file or image or to completely delete a file with the TRUE Delete function, use the LAB of "Save/Resize batch"

Button "Play"
The "Play" button is used to start the movie but it can act in two different ways:
a) if the "Play List" button is not selected SMP plays the single movie or the single image selected in the PlayList.
b) if the "Play List" button is selected SMP plays, in sequence, the film and the images starting from the selected line in the PlayList to the end line of the list.

Button "Play List"
The "Play List" button is used only to initiate the use of the PlayList. To start the player you must use the "Play" button.
The PlayList can contain both images and film.
When an image is shown it continues for the time in seconds determined by the value of the scroll-bar "Slide show time"

Button "Repeat"
This button starts the infinite repeat loop of the movie or of the PlayList if the button "Play List" is selected.

The scroll "Speed"
This scroll-bar enables variation, within a large range, of the projection speed. Moving it toward the left slows the film down.

The "Play-List" of films and images

To see the PlayList move the mouse on the first name of the PlayList.

The selection of the files effected by the "Check" buttons is used to determine what film or images are used to play a "List".
To play a "List" first press the button "PlayList" and then "Play”.
To show only a single file click on the name of the file in the PlayList and then press "Play". The file will be shown also if the check button is deactivated.

On clicking on the PlayList with the right mouse button a context menu appears which you use to work and manage the list.

Note
To play a film it is obviously necessary that the correct "Decoders” are installed. Normally many decoders are present in Windows but those of the "vob" format are not public.

Attention
Because of the special characteristics of the Security Media Player, SMP doesn't operate correctly if another digital player is open at the same time.
If you want to see many films contemporaneously you can use many sessions of 3D Gugle.
