The PDT video demos listed above are screen-capture videos of PDT software working in real time. To reduce file sizes, the videos were restricted to a maximum frame rate of five frames per second and then compressed with Apple's MPEG-4 codec. For best results, the videos should be viewed at 100% size.
Many of the videos were produced with PDT demo software which you can download from the IDELIX website and try for yourself.
If you have questions about PDT, or would like to obtain an SDK for integration into your own application, contact us for more information.
