MultiPlay and Basic Overlay
MultiPlay is an innovative tool that allows you to synchronize and playback up to 4 videos in the same window, analyse and compare them frame by frame and track progress over time. Basic overlay will enable you to synchronise two video sequences of either the same performer or two different performers and overlay one over the other, clearly highlighting differences in technique and body position.

Drawing and Annotation Tools
Take any frame from a video sequence and draw and write over the clip. Drawing tools include a distance and angle measuring tools, straight and curved line drawing, plot points, add vertical and horizontal grids to enable the user to highlight features of technique and positioning for analysis.

Storyboard and Key Position Analysis
Create storyboards as teaching resources or to record progress of a student, athlete or patient. Storyboards record video comparisons, drawings and added text and can be built up over a period of time.

In addition key positions can be added to video with written comments and recorded audio. Key positions can saved as individual jpeg files or published as a Dartfish mediabook.

Video Management
Manage your archive of teaching and training video footage, categorise your clips in the way you want, sort them by pre-defined criteria by creating your own keywords, easily browse and find what you are looking for. Share your video clips with others.


Dartfish Live

In the Action provides teachers and pupils with access to immediate visual feedback during a lesson, allowing them to develop a more objective vision of performance dramatically increasing their learning curve. It includes all the features of the Basic package plus real time feedback.

Capture and watch a performance in real time without interrupting the flow of practice. It is possible for a pupil / student to perform an activity and receive immediate visual feedback within seconds of finishing, thus enabling them to repeat the activity with clear visual goals to achieve. Using the dedicated Streamzap remote control unit the entire capture and playback process is controlled by infra red remote.

  • easy to use delayer feature - delay video display so that pupils / atheletes can review their performance after they have completed it without anyone having to handle the laptop or camcorder
  • instant visual feedback using the capture and playback facility operated using infra red remote control
  • maximize short term muscle memory by repeating and refining with immediate feedback
  • check progress in real time
  • immediately make adjustments to technique
  • easily compare with a reference clip

Analyse the Action
After the teaching or training session is finished or at a later time, analyse and compare an athlete's performance with him/herself or with other athletes using all the analysis features in the Connect Package (with the exception of the media book).

  • check progress over time
  • analyse technique and form in depth
  • compare speed and trajectory
  • contrast one athlete with another

Dartfish ProSuite 

Probably the most advanced product of it's type on the market, the Dartfish Professional Suite provides you with all the features of the Basic package and the Standard Suite plus the powerful video processing effects of Simulcam and StroMotion. Dartfish 3.0 Professional now also includes the new Producer module which enables the analysis and publishing of video content as Macromedia Flash Player files or as web pages.

Dartfish Pro Suite provides you with powerful video processing effects to compare a pupil's performance with him / herself or with that of another pupil, as well as to breakdown movement and trajectory within an activity.

Transfer the video analysis to the media format of your choice
StroMotion & Simulcam Video Processing

See either the same student / athlete or two different ones whose performances were recorded at different times, at the same location blended into one video sequence. This enables the teacher / trainer to compare a student / athlete's performance with their previous one or study a true comparison of two different students / athletes.

 

 The unique Dartfish analysis tools

Stromotion

See a performance unfold in time and space by compounding video images into a frame by frame sequence. Technical movements are broken down into separate images which can be studied and analysed  in detail. This can be used to:

  • improve accuracy of performance 
  • analyse the path of a fast moving object such as an athlete or a ball

Dartfish Media Book

The power of the Media Book module is the ability to break a movement down into key positions and then for each position to be able to include a written comment, add drawings to the clip and record a spoken commentary. The final output can be in the form of a web page or a self contained Macromedia Flash file which only requires the freely downloadable DartViewer to play it. Analyse performance and send the results by email or produce a CDROM or web page. Perfect to produce examples of good practice that can easily be shared within a group of schools or an LEA.
