BK2 Viewer Online

BK2 viewer online is a browser-based tool designed to open and analyze BK2 files used in capture and archival workflows. It provides rapid rendering, frame-level inspection, and metadata extraction without requiring desktop software. The tool targets developers, archivists, video historians, and game researchers who need a lightweight, privacy-preserving solution to verify BK2 content in workflows or during audits.

Domain logic validates, parses, and renders BK2 content. It detects file signature, validates version, and enumerates streams (video, audio, metadata). Rendering converts selected frames into display-ready previews; metadata extraction surfaces duration, frame rate, codec, resolution, keyframe timestamps, and user comments. Optional depth includes per-frame histograms and basic motion analysis. All calculations are deterministic and reproducible across sessions.

Audience and value: digital archivists, media researchers, game-history curators, and developers integrating BK2 content into tools. Unique differentiators include a no-install, web-only workflow, tight privacy (no file upload required for metadata-only mode), and export options for frames or structured data. The tool supports multiple BK2 variants and provides a stable API-like interface for automation, enabling integration into batch processing and quality-control pipelines.

Core features and use cases: 1) Ingest BK2 files; 2) View frame previews; 3) Inspect metadata; 4) Export frames as PNG or JSON metadata; 5) Compare BK2 versions; 6) Generate reports for audits. Use cases include verifying integrity after transfers, preparing archives for access, and extracting data for research.
