A_S_A_P is great for analyzing the golf swing, but you might want to visit The Golf System.com, our Golf Swing Analysis System website.

ALL SPORTS ANALYSIS PROGRAM
A basic model, miniDV (tape) format camcorder allows you to take full advantage of all program features, including the ability to do a "live" (or recorded) capture directly into All Sports Analysis Program. 

miniDV camcorders have a FireWire port, which connects to your computer's FireWire port. FireWire is technically known as IEEE 1394, Sony calls it iLink.

That's all the equipment you need. 

miniDV camcorders have a Sports shutter setting, which lets you record blur-free video, this is especially important for doing an analysis. 

The video "rate" in all consumer-level camcorders is a standard 30 frames-per-second, (25 FPS, PAL/SECAM). A_S_A_P up-converts this video to 60 (50) FPS which gives you a very good look at the performance, even when things are moving fast. All Sports Analysis Program can also import, up-convert and analyze any normal, interlaced AVI video file.

If you use a hard drive, flash memory or another format camcorder, All Sports Analysis Program's direct capture feature won't be available. You would need to capture/ transfer the video to your computer using another application and save it as a regular .AVI file. 

Analog camcorders (Hi8, VHS, etc.) connected to a computer which has an analog video capture device can also be used and will have the same A_S_A_P features available as the miniDV/FireWire setup.

digiCam ANALYSIS HD
digiCam Analysis HD is engineered to be used with High Definition and High Speed cameras and camcorders. digiCam Analysis HD can be also used with virtually any standard resolution or frame rate camera. It uses a file import method. 

Cameras which record/play "progressive" (non-interlaced, frame) type video and saved as an AVI, WMV or MPG file can be imported into digiCam Analysis HD. MOV and other video formats need to be converted/saved as an AVI, WMV or MPG file in Windows' Movie Maker or another application before they can be used.
 
digiCam ANALYSIS
digiCam Analysis is designed for use with certain digital cameras. It uses a file import method and is usually limited to a 30 FPS (25 FPS, PAL/SECAM) video rate.

Only cameras which record/play "progressive" (non-interlaced, frame) type video and saved as an AVI file can be imported into digiCam Analysis. MOV and other video formats need to be converted/saved as an AVI file in another application before they can be used. 

 All Sports Analysis Program, digiCam Analysis and digiCam Analysis HD are software-only products.
Required hardware not included. Performance is computer system dependent. Some functions need time to process.
