What video capture program is this?

Saw this screen cap on an old forum post on videohelp from a user that hasn't been active since 2018.

Question is what application and how do you get to the function shown in the screenshot below?

I believe what it does is allow you to see how certain color levels are being clipped or have luma/chromas in certain ranges that are selectable.

Looks like a useful tool for analysis, so I am curious to try it once I know what it is.

it's avisynth (script based) application, well known for video enthousiasts to enhance a video (noise, colors, deinterlace etc..)

As far as i can see on the picture it uses ColorYUV(analyze=true), filter collecting luma/chroma stats values and Histogram("classic") to display the luma range (brown zones being critical for Rec601 videos, 0-16 / 235-255)

The red/green mode is to easily spot non valid luma or chroma... i think yes, don't know which filter it is though, i've seen it before

Basically your script would look like this if you want to experiment

AVISource("MyVideos")
ColorYUV(analyze=true)
Histogram("classic")

I've found something similar in my archives to spot illegal YUV values (requires Videoscope plugin)

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.6\plugins\VScope12\Release\VScope.dll")
AVISource("MyVideo.avi").assumetff()
converttoyuy2(interlaced=true)  # REQUIRED !!
ColorYUV(analyze=true)
ColorYUV(off_y=-35, gain_y=150) # brighten it up to create illegal colors

diff = Subtract(last, ConvertToRGB(last,interlaced=true).ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)).Levels(112,1,144,0,255)

return(StackHorizontal(last, diff)).VideoScope("bottom")
