Full Screen Analysis - The analysis section displays video from edge to edge, eliminating the clutter
that you normally see in other programs from functions that you are not currently using.
60 frame per second video capture
and playback - VCRs and camcorders
only display 30 frames per second (even in slow motion and freeze frame). SportsCAD converts this video
into 60 frames per second so that you have twice the amount of information to analyze.
Support for Casio Exilim Hi-Speed
cameras - The Casio Exilim
cameras (EX-F1, EX-FH25 and EX-FH100) work very well in the software, and are capable of higher frame
rates (210-300 frames per second).
Download Golf, Tennis and Baseball
models - Download model videos
from our library directly to the software.
Analyze up to 8 videos at a time
- SportsCAD has multiple screen configurations
including single, double (horizontal and vertical), triple (triangular and linear), quad, six, or eight
screens.
Enhanced Drawing Operations
- Choose from Freehand draw, square, line, circle, angle, path tool, parallelogram, zone
tool, clock grid, arrow, and grid. You control their colors and size too.
Best Video
Control - No VCR, camcorder, OR COMPETING
PROGRAM gives you better control of the video than SportsCAD has to offer. Play, pause, slow motion,
loop, scroll, frame forward & frame backward. With one hand on the mouse, you have more control over
the videos than any video camera or VCR can offer alone! Never fumble through a videotape
again.
Dual
Camera Support
- With the newly redesigned capture section, you can have two cameras in your setup from which
to choose. You can then choose to capture video from camera one, camera two, or choose to record from both at
the same time.
Burn Lessons, Drills

SportsCAD Platinum has its own, customized, recording studio.
Simply switch to Recording Mode (from Analysis) and press “Start Recording”. All the action in the recording
window (videos, drawings, transparencies, mouse movements etc), as well as your voice are recorded to a file.
You can then choose to burn this file, and/or student videos to CD. The resulting CD is a completely
installable video player program customized for your student.
Send Lessons, Drills
And Videos to the Web or Email -
Send your lessons, drills and videos to the web or directly to an
email address. Your student will get an email with a link that will take them to their lesson. This can be
linked directly to your website.
Complete Control of Features
- Once you get familiar with SportsCAD, the "Program Setup"
section allows incredible control of how the program operates. You can decide on how many screens will be
available when you go to Analysis, what color and width the drawings are, how many lines are in your grid,
slow motion speed, the color of the program, and much much more.

E-Mail Snapshots to Your Students - This feature enables
the instructor to instantly email analysis images to his/her student. The enhanced E-Mail tool option allows
for the creation of E-Mail Booklets. These booklets can be sent to multiple e-mail addresses and represent a
new way of keeping in contact with the student.
Calculate Distances -
By simply calibrating the video with a known distance, you can get measurements in feet or inches by simply
drawing a line.
Motion Trace with MPH Readings -
Trace a complete motion by following the path of an object from start to finish. This tool then displays the
complete path of the motion, and automatically highlights the fastest portion of the motion. New additions to
this feature include a calibration tool, which provides an accurate measurement of speed in
MPH.

go.
Strobe Video - The new Strobe Video Tool allows you to follow an
object (such as a golf ball) through
time.

"overlaid" so that they are one on top of the other. Step through the motions to see the
differences.
Transparency Carve
- Carve all or part of a video and move it to another
window. Place a perfect motion on top of a student. You can replace any part of your student (upper body,
arm etc) with that of a model and play it!.

another - You can draw all of your lines, angles, etc. in one window and "clone" them to any other
window (to show differences in the videos,
etc).

your model's positions and call them onto the screen on
demand.

them come see what they look like in that proper
position.

high speed point of a given motion.

printer.
The Import/Export tools
-

drawings) to or from cd, flash drive, zip disk or external hard drive. The exported videos can then be imported
into any copy of SportsCAD (Platinum or Home) for file sharing or backup purposes. If your students own a copy
of SportsCAD Home, you can quickly copy their videos (and some model videos if you like) to cd or a flash
drive. They can then use the Import/Export feature in their software to import the
videos.
