The webcam, which takes up to 30 frames a second, makes it possible to film the athletes while they are doing tests. The images, automatically synchronized with the numerical data and graphics, will be saved in the database and will always be available for analysis or comparison. Optojump supports up to two Webcams and the software supports only particular brands and models supplied by us (as the hardware and drivers must have particular features).
- Complete re-design of the bars
- Triplicated resolution (1 cm. compared with 3 cm. in the previous one)
- No connection cables between the transmitting and receiving bars
- Distance between the bars of up to 6 metres
- Possibility of analysing a walk and complex movements, for example, a shuttle test
- Possibility of putting together a two-dimensional system
- Rapid mounting thanks to the convenient connection stages
- Video analysis with webcams (up to 2) synchronized with the events acquired and possibility of making comparisons between the different tests of one or more athletes without the need to export the data to other software supports, which anyway would not allow consultation of the image archive
- Transport made easy thanks to the new bags
- Doubled autonomous use
- Native USB 2.0 interface
- Software completely rewritten in .Net and with technologies of the latest generation
Users of the previous version can however take advantage of the new software features (including video analysis) by buying the "
Kit Upgrade" that includes software also compatible with the old bars, a tripod and a webcam.
Of course, but in this case perhaps it is better to buy the “Optojump Next Kit for extensions” which already includes the right adaptor and the trolley for multiple meters.
