System Overview
Statsmaster/DV Coach is a suite of software modules that provide an efficient and accurate method of collecting qualitative and quantitative statistical data.
It has revolutionized game analysis by streamlining the traditionally time-intensive video cutup process for self and opponent scouting.
These statistics data are stored in a modular, well-organised database, which can be distributed quickly and reliably to any number of access points for inquiry.
The statistical data can be reported and presented in any number of ways, depending on your preferences. Each recorded event is timecoded, which is instantly linked to the video footage In simple terms, the Statsmaster/DV Coach system :
* Uses a range of entry methods to collect statistical data live (at-match) or back-office.
* Directly updates this statistical information into a secured, flexible database.
* Automatically collates the totals by player, team and statistic for instant feedback.
* Links this statistical data to the video timecodes for immediate referencing of the events visually.
* Utilises the latest video technology to provide an efficient and reliable means of processing the video footage using a range of methods being :
1. CD-ROM (MPEG-1)
2. High quality digital (MPEG-2 or AVI)
3. Or, traditional analogue (linear)
* DV Coach provides a range of powerful and flexible statistical reports that can customized for the specific requirements.
* DV Coach provides a number of options to further enhance the presentation of the statistics and video, such as report writers, titling/graphics modules,etc.

Traditional (Linear) or Digital
To date, video footage has been primarily stored on analogue video tape using VHS format.
Recent advances in technology have allowed this footage to be “digitised” and stored on a disk.
The advantages of using digital format are obvious, namely:
* Instant replays (no fast-forward/rewind, etc)
* Improved picture quality (from VHS up to broadcast)
* No degradation in quality when copied
* Life of the computer disk
* Storage is more convenient
* The ease of copying a file
* Savings in processing time is dramatic (at least 50%)
* Slow-Mo and freeze frames are excellent
The considerations are that not everyone is in a position to use this technology, however this is slowly changing.
Nearly all households and offices still use traditional video tape and most service providers and libraries still distribute their footage on VHS tape.
Digital format is normally AVI (DV), MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 and stored either on the hard disk, CD-ROM or DVD.
