LIVE MODE CAPTURE MODE
>>
Basicly the system has two dierent operating modes, Live- and Play-Mode. In “Live-Mode” the software
shows the actual live Image of the camera and the red LED to the left of“Live”ashes. In “Live-Mode”the
system is prepared to capture a new swing.
In “Play-Mode” captured or loaded swings can be reviewed and analyzed.
If the systems detects an “impact” while showing “Live-Mode”it automatically stops the“Live-Mode” and
switchs to“Play-Mode” and displays the last captured swing for further analysis.
Please nd more information about Impact-Detection in section “Visual Impact Detector”.
When system is in“Live Mode” the camera display settings can be adjusted easily using predened sets
for dierent light conditions:
• Set1: Sunny sky
• Set2: Cloudy sky
• Set3: Indoor use
The predened settings are available in the context menu (right click) of the camera button:
>> CAMERA SETTINGS PREDEFINED SETS
>> BUTTONS AND CONTEXT MENUS
Buttons of the Scout Analyzer software can show three dierent states. These states indicate the status of
the corresponding function that a button provides:
selectable active inactive
For some buttons additional functions are available in their context menus.You can open the context menu
with a right click on the button. Please nd an example for using context menus in the following section.

OTHER IMPACT DETECTION
>>
Trouble with impact detection ?
# impact marker position
In case the marker “I” for “impact position” is not positioned correctly, please make sure the acous-
tic impact detector works properly.You can assure that by checking the blue LED of the impact detec-
tor. The LED ashes at swing-impacts (or loud noises i.e. clapping).
# impact caused by swing in adjoining simulator
In case the acoustic impact detector“listens”to impacts that of a golfer in the adjoining simulator,
you can either adjust the gain with the rotary switch of the device or (recommended) use the visual
impact detection (see section visual impact).

VIDEO SLOTS
>>
Video slots are temporary storages for swing recordings (1..4). By entering “Live-Mode” one slot is selected
automatically in which the next swing recording is stored (after the system detects an impact).
In “Live-Mode” the selected slot is marked with an “R”-Icon. After an impact is detected the software
changes in “Play-Mode”and the slot that was marked with the “R”-Icon will hold the recording. This slot is
then displayed as active. Video slots are selected one after another. I.E. when the 4th slot is active and the
software enters“live-mode”the rst slot will be selected to store the next recording. The previous swing in
slot 1 will then be overwritten.
Context Menu:
• clear
deletes a temporarily stored recording from a slot
• lock
set the lock In order to protect a slot against overwriting. A maximum of 3 slots can be locked simulta-
neously
• load slot from archive
opens the swing archive to load a stored video into the desired slot
save to archive of pro / student
saves the recording of the slot permanently in the archive of the selected pro / student
• load from le
opens a window to load a video (avi-le) from the le system (i.e. USB stick)
• save to le
opens a window to save the recording of the slot permanently into a selected folder of the le system
(i.e. USB stick) with any desired le name.
COMPARE
>>
For detailed comparison the compare-mode allows to display the same perspectives (down the line or fron-
tal) of two dierent swing recordings side by side. Like in “Play-Mode” it is possible in compare to replay
play both swings synchronously or navigate through the swings step by step.To activate the compare mode
click on the comp-button (see image below at pos. I )
Swing recordings are synchronized at impact position (position of the I-Marker). Use CTRL + Arrow Key Left
or Arrow Key Right for frame by frame play back of just the right video in order to synchronize the videos
at another swing position.
The recording that is displayed before compare mode is active will be selected as the Master video. All
other swings within the video slots can be compared to that video. (see image above at pos II and image
