Special FeaturesAll Sports Analysis Program includes many unique and useful features. A_S_A_P comes with "made for sports analysis" Video Capture capabilities which simplify and accelerate the capturing/analysis process. The addition of high-level 60 FPS Video/Analysis, a special 21 speed Analysis Video Player, high-resolution pictures and digital imaging features qualify All Sports Analysis Program as a high-end application. But, A_S_A_P does not come with a high-end price tag. A_S_A_P lets instructors, coaches and players quickly capture and analyze an athletic performance utilizing Direct Capture, a special Analysis Video Player and simple-to-use Graphic Overlay drawing tools. The large, high resolution pictures are easy to work with and evaluate.
Video Capture tool
allows you to
simply and easily capture the sports activity directly in the
program and instantly analyze it. Special Video Capture Features The integrated digitizing software, custom-designed especially for sports analysis, communicates directly with your digital or analog video capture device. It's setup so that a performance can be analyzed utilizing 60 FPS (frames-per-second) High-Speed video. Technical aspects of the capturing, rendering and saving processes have been pre-set so that only a simple, button-click or key press is needed. However, capture options can be adjusted if you desire and you have extensive manual and automated control. You can capture an individual event to any of 10 built-in video capture/analysis files. This lets you keep up to 10 videos in the program and have them instantly available. Easily attach a text note to the captured video to help identify whether it was "good, bad, etc." You can select which performances to retain in "resident memory" and which ones to capture over. You can also capture a series of up to 10 videos at a time. Selecting any two or more of the 10 numbered buttons will record and automatically save the athletic performance in the Video Capture Tool. If you'd like, name and save the captured video, then import it and perform an analysis later. There are a number of utilities provided to automate the process and make capturing easier. You can auto-time single and series captures by pre-setting how many seconds you want to record. You can also choose how long to wait before starting to capture and how many seconds to pause in between digitizing a series of videos. The "countdown" to start and in-between can be visually displayed and also provide you with audible alerts. Single users will find this feature especially useful. Instructors will also appreciate not having to be at the computer in order to start and stop recording. You can easily trim the length of your captured video by simply cueing it to where you'd like the edited video to begin, the end point will be set automatically. Convert the video to 60 FPS and do an analysis, or save it as an .AVI video file video with multiple compressor, cropping and size options. The Video Capture Tool will allow you to control (play, stop, cue, etc.) your camcorder or VCR. You can also preview and capture television video, if your hardware provides these capabilities. Digital (miniDV, Digital8) and analog (Hi8,
8MM, S-VHS, VHS) video formats and NTSC & PAL Worldwide Television/Video
Standards are supported. Direct Capture, up to 3 seconds of High-Speed (60/50 FPS) video, and overlay lines, circles and other graphic elements. You can immediately play and evaluate the athletic performance. If necessary, use the 10 Undo levels to change elements, then save the video as an A_S_A_P Analysis or as an .AVI format video file which can be used in another application or viewed using the program's custom .AVI video player.
60 FPS High Speed Video/Analysis This upscale A_S_A_P feature doubles the normal video frame of 30 Frames-Per-Second, by splitting each frame into 2 separate pictures. 60 FPS (frames-per second) produces a high-level video sports analysis. Compared to a standard video, there are twice as many "stop points" during the video, so you're able to freeze the action more precisely. With 2 times as much picture information and more high-speed images you'll get very accurate visual data. This is especially important when there's a fast moving object, such as, a golf club, baseball bat or tennis racquet. 60 FPS will capture more precise positions and provide more scientific information. 60 FPS Additional benefits to this high FPS rate is the availability of many slow motion and super slow motion speeds. The A_S_A_P Analysis Video Player lets you select from 0.5 (1 image every 2 seconds) to 60 FPS (normal speed) for extreme viewing control which yields smooth-looking video even at low speed play. Those using the PAL Worldwide Television/Video standard will benefit even more. By doubling the relatively low 25 FPS standard PAL rate to 50 FPS, high speed data and pictures produced by A_S_A_P will result in a great improvement over the normal video rate. A regular video file (.AVI), one recorded at the standard 30/25 frames-per-second, can be imported and converted to 60/50 FPS for use in the program. Bring in video recorded from television or other sources, analyze and use it for comparisons. A_S_A_P primarily relies on its own proprietary format/players for displaying and working with videos. This unique system is far more precise, versatile and reliable than those which use a standard video file and player. You also have the ability to save the analysis as a regular .AVI video file should you desire to use it outside the program.
Analysis Go from live or recorded-performance to begin your Analysis within seconds by using the Direct Capture function. You can also quickly perform an Analysis on any of up to 10 videos captured and held in the Video Capture Tool.
Crop, size, center images, overlay lines, circles, draw/compute
angles, etc., play the
video, and do a visual evaluation. Voice record a Quick Comment, or
type a short note relating to the performance. Save the video and
superimposed graphics,
as well as the audio instruction or commentary, as an
A_S_A_P
Analysis. A_S_A_P gives you an inexpensive way to do a two camera angle sports analysis using just one computer and one video capture device. Here's how. Setup two camcorders, placed in different positions, and videotape the sports performance. Create a Double Analysis, which provides two Analysis windows, A and B. Capture one camera's recorded video to A and the other camera to B. Utilize the same controls and graphical features as in a Single Analysis, with the added benefit of storing, loading and playing A and B together. Use the A-B Control Bar to synchronize playing A and B, and any other Analysis videos. Individual playing functions are still active, allowing for setting speeds, stopping, etc. When the videos are cued where you want, clicking A-B's Play/Stop button, simultaneously starts or stops both videos. For fine-tuned control, use the slow motion forward and reverse buttons. You can also left mouse-click to go back and right-click to slowly move the videos ahead. The A-B Controls keep both videos in-sync with absolute frame accuracy.
Another option is to composite the A and B videos. Mix these, or other Analysis videos on the left, right, top, bottom, or as a Picture-In-Picture with a choice of positions and sizes. The Save and Load Overlay feature provides A_S_A_P
users with another good way to compare body or equipment positions, whether
from the same person or a superior performer. For example. Draw a red line
over the video to indicate an incorrect position and draw a green line,
where the athlete should be. Save the
Overlay. Then, superimpose this graphic over another Analysis video and make an
evaluation. Many sports learning centers operate indoors and instructors aren't able to position a video camera far enough away from the athlete to include their entire body. The two camera and mixing techniques just described are easy solutions to that problem. Another A_S_A_P function is especially useful for indoor analysis. When it's not physically possible to place the camera the proper distance away from the performer, set the camera, tilted 90 degrees, on a tripod. This changes the view from the normal Landscape, 4:3 (Width/Height) perspective, to the taller Portrait mode, 3:4. Now, you're able to include more of the athlete's body in the picture. After you capture the tilted video, A_S_A_P will keep you from getting a stiff neck by rotating the video plus or minus 90 degrees. (This, and other highly-demanding graphical operations, will take your computer a minute or two to process.) A_S_A_P, in addition to the default High-Speed (60/50 FPS) video, gives you the option to capture Normal (30/25 FPS) or Extended rate (15/13 FPS) video for when a longer length, although less precise, Analysis is desired. A High-Speed Analysis, extracts and lets you analyze up to 3 seconds at a time from the digitized video. This mode/length is usually sufficient for most sports analysis. Bowling, skating, football and other team sports can utilize the Normal rate, allowing work on up to 6 seconds or the Extended rate for analyzing as much as 12 seconds at a time. Of course, you can process and analyze as many segments from the captured video as desired and create as many Analysis' as you wish. Single or Series video capture time lengths are limited only by your computer's capabilities and hard drive capacity. A_S_A_P lets
you work with high resolution videos and still images
that are 720 by 480
pixels, or even bigger! Videos can easily be cropped and centered so that the
primary area of focus, the athlete, remains large while trimming away
useless scenery on the sides. This allows you to efficiently utilize your screen workspace and also
enables you to neatly position two Analysis videos side-by-side.
