packet sniffer trial software / shareware for mac

MacTCP Watcher 2.0 is a program showing the internal data of MacTCP or Open Transport such as the Mac's IP number and DNS name. It will also list all the currently open TCP connections and the information on each of them.It also allows you to test your network, using the ICMP Ping protocol, the UDP & TCP Echo protocols, and it tests out the DNS by looking up the name of a given IP or IP of a given name. It also allows you to use the traceroute functionality to observe the route packets take. It should be useful to people having TCP configuration troubles, network or Domain Name System problems, or the chronically curious.

Video signals are contaminated by noise in many different ways even if they are completely digital. Sources of noise are for example storage media, image acquisition equipments (e.g. cameras, digitizers etc.), transmission channels (e.g. broadcasting, satellite links, cable networks, statistical multiplexers) and receiving and recording equipment.
The noise has different characteristics, for example: additive white gaussian noise from electronic equipment, salt and pepper noise from over-the-air transmissions, video grain and packet loss or frame-loss in digital transmissions over unreliable networks.
Innobits Video Purifier removes these contaminations, for example dithering artifacts, unwanted video noise and unpleasant signatures from earlier processing. Only noise that shouldnt be in the video is removed, which means that animated noise is not touched.
Also, Innobits Video Purifier does not "smear out" the noise or put any "new" pixels into the video - it simply uses already existing pixels.
Innobits Video Purifier is the standalone NLE software for you to use as an additional tool of the trade.
The powerful algorithm used in Innobits Video Purifier is "heavy-duty" signal processing even if it is light weighted due to CPU time. The limitation in hardware, is the memory bandwidth, not the number of CPUs / cores or other hardware installed.
In this NLE software there is a totally new thinking in the Graphical User Interface, making it really easy to learn and use the product.
The user will have careful control of what is to be processed; execution is fast and - very important - the range of application is broad, meaning that Video Purifier can be used in and for different situations, e.g.:
- Removing contaminations before editing/cutting your video.
- Removing contaminations after editing/cutting.
- Restoration of motion pictures.
- In pre/post processing prior the final cut.
- In post-processing equalizing content from different sources and cameras.
- In post-processing restoring video quality for archiving purposes.
- In pre-processing prior to any encoding. Usually encoding is very sensitive to noise contaminations.

Main features:
- Scene change detection, helps you find scenes in the source movie.
- Processes all types of framerates/frame sizes.
- Resamples frames to any size.
- Gamma adjustment of source (if source permits).
- No "smearing", keeps all the high-frequency details.

System requirements:
-

Version restrictions:
- All rendered frames will have a small crosshair in red.

Enhancements
- Support for all types of graphic cards.
- No more strange white areas.

7. MacLoggerDX automatically tracks DXCC, IOTA, WAS, VUCC and CQ WAZ (Worked All Zones) Awards and will even use Mail.app or Eudora to Email you if that rare DX location pops up on the DX Clusters. It has a Bands Display panel which tracks activity by HF Ham Band and lets you quickly tune to the action using a separate VFO slider for each band - as well as VFO Stacking registers for quick recall of interesting frequencies.
8. MacLoggerDX can monitor, decode, lookup and plot APRS packets from APRSServe on the Internet or a connected TNC. You can use the TNC panel to communicate with any serial TNC to monitor and decode APRS traffic, DXCluster Spots or to work any of the digital modes supported by the TNC. See stations pop up on the map in real time as they digipeat APRS packets over the International Space Station.

Enhancements
- Added support for MPEG-1/2, Layer 2 audio in WAV/BWAV and Quicktime files - Added ID/Read support for MPEG-1/2, Layer 2 audio in WAV/BWAV and Quicktime files.
- Fixed bug with source files that have no extension - Fixed a bug where the last character of the filename would be cut off on export if the original file had no extension.
- Fixed bug with creating MPEG 4 Audio files - Fixed a bug involving writing audio packet info when creating MPEG 4 Audio files. The result of this bug would be error messages when playing back created MPEG 4 Audio files in the app.
- Updated MPEG 4 Audio file import - Made a change to more accurately determine the length of the audio in the file.
- Updated file reading support - Made a change for some file types to to remove errors displayed when reading a file when the file indicates a longer duration than the number of samples actually contained in it.
