video analysis

 

SportsCAD Platinum Main Features

biomechanic video analysis 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.

biomechanic video analysis 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.

biomechanic video analysis 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.

biomechanic video analysis 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.

biomechanic video analysis 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.

biomechanic video analysis 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.

biomechanic video analysis  Burn Lessons, Drills And Videos to CD - 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.
