Ad-Detective Common Parameters with threshold and timing controls
Begin with a representative short section before scanning a complete programme.

Detection sensitivity

Scene-change threshold controls how different consecutive analysed pictures must be before they become candidates. Lower values produce more candidates; higher values require a stronger transition.

Timing rules

  • Minimum time between marks suppresses clusters around one transition.
  • Maximum commercial block limits automatic grouping of candidate pairs.
  • Scan I and P pictures only can trade detail for speed on suitable codecs/material.
  • CPU priority controls how aggressively a background scan competes with other work.

Automatic cuts

Automatically add detected commercial blocks to the cut list only after the same channel/material has been tested. Detection is advisory; an automatic cut should still be previewed at both boundaries.
