Evaluator Model ID: gemini-3.6-flash-high
Video Decoding Status: Complete video decoding succeeded without stream degradation or missing frames.

1. Stream & Media Properties

Container Format: QuickTime / MP4 (mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2)
Video Codec: H.264 / AVC (High Profile)
Container Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 pixels
Video Frame Rate: 30.00 fps (constant frame rate)
Exact Frame Count: 398 frames
Observed Duration: 13.266667 seconds (13.27 s)
Audio Stream: Present (Muted)
- Audio Codec: AAC LC (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48,000 Hz, stereo, 96 kb/s
- PCM Stream: PCM 16-bit little-endian, 48,000 Hz, stereo, 1536 kb/s
- Audio Characteristics: Silent / muted audio track (mean volume: -91.0 dB, max peak: -91.0 dB, 0 amplitude).

2. Timestamped Direct Frame Observations

0.000s (Frame 1): Initial decoded video frame. Handheld screen recording of display monitor. Crosshair reticle with calibrated tick marks is visible. Triangle ($\Delta$) HUD symbol and circle (o) display markings are located near the reticle center. Glare on left side.
6.633s (Frame 199): Midpoint of the 13.27-second recording. Handheld phone camera drift and low-frequency shake. Display symbology maintains a constant spatial position relative to the reticle lines.
13.267s (Frame 398): Final decoded video frame. Stream terminates cleanly at 13.27s.

3. Contrast Areas & Motion Analysis

Independently Moving Areas of Contrast: None.
Display Symbology & Features:
- HUD Graphics ($\Delta$, o): Vector display symbols fixed to the screen overlay.
- Reticle Grid: Crosshair grid lines with tick marks.
- Dust/Lens Smudges: Faint circular ring smudges on recording camera optics moving strictly with handheld camera motion.

4. Symbology & Display Readouts

Reticle Symbology: Crosshairs grid with axis tick marks, triangle ($\Delta$) symbol, and circle (o) icons.
Telemetry Readouts: Telemetry text is cropped out by the camera framing.

5. Sensor & Camera Recording Artifacts

Framing & Bezel: Center display framing without monitor outer bezel.
Illumination & Glare: Warm yellow lighting reflection on the left side of the display.
Moire & Noise: Moire lines visible across the screen pixel matrix.
Audio: Audio stream is completely muted (-91.0 dB).

6. Directly Visible Observations vs. Inference

Directly Visible:
- Display crosshairs reticle with triangle $\Delta$ and circle o HUD symbols.
- Muted audio track.
Inference (Not Supported by Pixels):
- Classifying HUD symbology icons as physical targets.

7. Explicit Physical & Operational Limits

Physical Target Identity: Unresolved / Absent.
Size, Range & Altitude: Completely indeterminate.
Speed & Acceleration: Zero relative velocity ($0.0 \text{ m/s}$, $0.0 \text{ m/s}^2$).
Temperature: Indeterminate.
Agency & Intent: Unknown.
Response to Weapons: N/A; no weapon cues or flare events.

Decoding gate: PASS
