29 3.3. Video Coding Overview The process of video coding involves recording what actions occur during a match and when they happen. The data records then correlate to a specific time in the timeline of a video so that the video footage can be easily viewed. Before coding a match, you need to add one or more videos to the Video Library. You also need to have inserted a season, teams, player cards and a match. Once you insert a match, you can then select the Video Coding option below the match in the navigation tree. Doing so displays four dialogs. Court The Video Coding - Court dialog displays in the upper left corner of your screen by default and represents the court with the players. This dialog serves two purposes: 29

30 Along with the Video Coding - Players/Actions dialog, it provides one method of coding a match by allowing you to select where on the court an action takes place. It allows you to keep track of the rotation and score of the match. Players/Actions The Video Coding - Players/Actions dialog displays in the lower left corner of your screen by default and lists the players and actions. This dialog serves two purposes: Along with the Video Coding - Court dialog, it provides one method of coding a match by allowing you to select the player performing an action and the specific action. It allows you to define the players on the court including who the setter is. Video The Video Coding - Video dialog displays in the upper right corner of your screen by default and serves two purposes: It allows you to view the video(s) of the match you are coding. It allows you to create custom play clips that are independent of the video coding process. Data Records The Video Coding dialog displaying in the lower right corner of your screen and serves two more purposes: It provides two more methods of coding. It displays the data records created when you code. 30

31 Video Controls The Video Coding - Video dialog displays when selecting Video Coding in the Navigation Tree. It is the tool for viewing video during the coding process. Before coding, you must first load the video to the library. If you have not done so already, select Tools > Video Library to insert the videos you need in the library. Once this is done, the videos become available for viewing. Refer to Video Library for more details. Viewing a Video To view a video for coding: 1. Select Video Coding for the desired match in the Navigation Tree. 2. Select the video from the Select Video list. 3. Click Play/Pause. Video Control The video controls are located below the video screen. Select Video This list allows you select a video from the library to view.

Rewind and Fast Forward These buttons reverse or advance the video in half second increments set by the Milliseconds text box. 31

32 Play/Pause This button plays the video clips in the list on the lower right area of the dialog. Clicking the button again pauses the clips. Play Speed This button sets the play speed. Clicking it toggles from normal speed (1) to double speed (2) to half speed. To use it, click it to set the desired speed and then click Play/Pause. Mute This button mutes the sound on your computer. Once you click it, the button changes to indicate that it is muted - click it again to unmute it. Please note that it mutes all sound on your computer. Timeline The timeline displays below the video controls and is used indicate where you are in the video. There are increments and a playhead that have a time display indicating the position. For example, [19:13] represents nineteen minutes thirteen seconds from the beginning of the video. The timeline can also be used to scrub the video. Dragging the playhead allows you to move through the video, either rewinding or fast forwarding the video. Tip: The column on the right side of the Video Coding - Video dialog is used to create custom clips. You may find it convenient to create 32

33 custom clips during the video coding process. To learn more about creating custom clips, refer to Highlight Reel Clips. See Also: Highlight Reel Clips 33

34 Video Coding Coding a match can be easily done by reviewing the video footage of a match and recording the actions that take place. Each action is marked to a position on the timeline and video clips are automatically created. There are three methdods of coding for which you record what the action is, who performs the action and where the action takes place on the court. The Point and Click method involves selecting an area on the Video Coding - Court dialog then selecting the player and action from the Video Coding - Players/Actions dialog. This method is visual, allowing you to easily select an area on the court without memorizing the numbers representing the areas. The Keyboard method involves using the Key Entry text box on the Video Coding - Data Records dialog and your keyboard to enter the player using a jersey number, the action using shortcut keys and the number representing the area on the court. This method allows you to create the records using only your keyboard without using your mouse. The 10 Key method involvdes using the Key Entry text box on the Video Coding - Data Records dialog and a 10 keypad to enter the player using a jersey number, the action using a numerical shortcut key and the number representing the area on the court. The method allows you to creae the records using only a 10 keypad and is the fastest method of coding. By default, the home team displays on the left side of the court. Depending on which side the camera has recorded the match, you may want to switch the teams on court. Switching the Teams To switch the teams on the court: 34

35 1. Select Video Coding for the desired match in the Navigation Tree. 2. Click Switch in the Video Coding - Court dialog. Tip: Remember to switch the teams at the beginning of each set when the teams change sides. After creating an action record, you should verify that all the information is correct. If you need to change anything, simply select the field to change and modify it. For example, to change the action, select the action field for the record and select the new action from the Video Coding - Player/Actions dialog. Tip: You can easily navigate a specific action in the video timeline by simply clicking on that action in the Video Coding - Data Records dialog. The play head then moves to where that action was coded. If you need to delete a record, mark it for deletion by clicking the box in the far left column of the data record. Doing this darkens the box. 35

36 The record will then be deleted once you code the next record or exit the Video Coding function. Please be aware that once you delete a record, it cannot be recovered. However, you can unmark the records by clicking the box again. The remaining columns in the Video Coding - Data Records dialog are as follows. No The jersey number of the player performing the action. Player The name of the player performing the action. Set The set in which the action occurs. Action The action performed. Area The area on the court where the action takes place. This may be recorded as a single number, which represents where the action begins, or as two numbers separated by "=>", which represents both where the action begins and ends. For options on the Video Coding - Video dialog, please refer to Video Controls. The Close button on the Video Coding - Data Records dialog closes all four Video Coding windows. Tip: You may find it convenient to create custom clips for highlight reels while you are coding a match. For more details, refer to Highlight Reel Clips. See Also: Highlight Reel Clips 36

48 4. Coding Live 4.1. Live Coding Clicking Live Coding in the Navigation Tree displays the Live Coding dialog that is similar in appearance to the four Video Coding windows. The main difference is that there is no video screen or controls. Live coding is for recording actions live during a match. This offers the distinct advantage of being able to access analysis results during halftime so that you can make real-time adjustments to your strategy. After coding a match using Live Coding, you can then use Synchronize to attach the actions to video footage. You can then access video clips for the actions as if you coded the match using Video Coding. Depending on your preference, use either Live Coding/Synchronize or Video Coding. You do not need to do both. By default, the home team displays on the left side of the court. Depending on which side the camera has recorded the match, you may want to switch the teams on court. Switching the Teams To switch the teams on the court: 1. Select Video Coding for the desired match in the Navigation Tree. 2. Click Switch in the Video Coding - Court dialog. Tip: Remember to switch the teams at the beginning of each set when the teams change sides. Recording an Action To record an action: 48

49 1. Click on the court to indicate where the action takes place. A window displays with all of the players listed. 2. Select the player performing the action from one of the columns on the right side of the Live Coding dialog. 3. Select the action from the middle column on the right side of the Live Coding dialog. The data records display below the court. If you need to delete a record, mark it for deletion by clicking the box in the far left column of the data record. Doing this darkens the box. The record will then be deleted once you code the next record or exit the Live Coding function. Please be aware that once you delete a record, it cannot be recovered. However, you can unmark the records by clicking the box again. The remaining columns are as follows. No The jersey number of the player performing the action. Player The name of the player performing the action. Set The set in which the action occurs. Action The action performed. Area The area on the court where the action takes place. This may be recorded as a single number, which represents where the action begins, or as two numbers separated by "=>", which represents both where the action begins and ends. There are five options on the Court area of the dialog. Lines This button controls the color and thickness of the lines drawn on the field. Clicking it toggles the court lines between a number of colors and thicknesses. Background 49

50 This button controls the color and texture of the field's background. Clicking it toggles between the following: wood, white and solid green. Areas This button controls the display of the numbers representing the nine areas on the court. Clicking it toggles between several shades of translucency, ranging from invisible to solid white. Jersey Colors This button controls display of several buttons controlling the color of the jerseys for each team. For each team, two sets of color buttons display - one for the setter and one for the rest of the players. Switch This buttons switches the side the teams on the court display. Before coding each set of the match, be sure to set this correctly by clicking it. See Also: Video Coding 50

51 4.2. Synchronize Clicking Synchronize in the Navigation Tree displays the Synchronize dialog that is similar in appearance to the Video Coding - Video dialog. Its purpose is to synchronize the data created using the Live Coding function with an existing video of the same match. By doing this, the database of action records will then be the same as if you had used the Video Coding function, allowing you to access video clips of all the actions. This process involves two timelines. The first timeline is the one established when the record button is pressed on the video camera generating the video file. Regardless of when the match actually begins, the start point of this timeline is the beginning of the video. The second timeline is the one established by the Live Coding function when you click the Start button on the Live Coding dialog. As you watch the match and record actions, the clock is keeping track of time in eanalyze. Recording the actions real-time means that this timeline should be the same as the one for the video from the point of the first action. The synchronization process aligns points on the two timelines. Using it to align the first action in both timelines will thus synchronize the two timelines, assuming all of the subsequent actions are the same relative time apart in the two timelines. 51

52 If there any delays in recording actions during live coding of the match, the two timelines may need further synchronization. Simply watch the video and use the Synchronize feature to align necessary actions. All subsequent actions keep the same relative time from each synchronized action so as you go through the process, the two timelines will become aligned. Before synchronizing an action to video, you must first load the video to the library. If you have not done so already, select Tools > Video Library to insert the videos you need in the library. Once this is done, the videos become available for synchronization. Refer to Video Library for more details. Synchronizing an Action to Video To synchronize an action to video: 52

53 1. Select Synchronize for the desired match in the Navigation Tree. 2. Select a video from the Select Video list. Only videos added to the library are available for selection. 3. By default the first action is selected, as indicated by a cursor in the far left column. If you are not synchronizing the fist action, select an action to synchronize. 4. Use the Play/Pause button or any other means of navigating the video to find the action. 5. Click Synchronize to synchronize the action to the video. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each action to synchronize. Other than the Synchronize button, the options on the Synchronize dialog are identical to those on the Video Coding - Video dialog. Please refer to Video Controls for more details. Tip: Since the action video clips are defined 5 seconds before and 4 seconds after the marker on the video timeline, your actions don't need to be precisely synchronized. This means you may only need to synchronize the beginning actions of each set. See Also: Video Library Video Controls 53

54 5. Creating Highlight Reels 5.1. Highlight Reel Clips The clip reel column to the right of the video screen on the Video Coding - Video dialog is used for creating custom video clips. These clips can later be viewed and exported to highlight reels. Highlight reel clips should not be confused with the clips that are created automatically through the coding process. These clips are custom recorded to your specification so they can include as many actions as you want. 54

55 In order to create a video reel clip, you must first load the video to the library. If you have not done so already, select Tools > Video Library to insert the videos you need in the library. Once this is done, the videos become available for viewing and coding. Refer to Video Library for more details. Creating a Video Reel Clip To create a video reel clip: 1. Select a video from the Select Video list. Only videos added to the library are available for selection. 2. Click Play/Pause to play the video. 3.

Clicking Play then starts the preview from the beginning. Image Editor This button takes a still image of the video and launches the Image Editor dialog, allowing you to modify the image using a variety of tools such as text and lines. For more information on using the Image Editor, please refer to Image Editor. Tip: To easily play a single clip, merely double-click it in the Storyboard. Effects This area of the dialog allows you to add effects to the exported video for an artistic appearance. Add This button adds the effect specified by the drop down list to the right of the button from the start to the end times specified in the text boxes. A number of effects are available and applicable options display in the area below the drop down list. Storyboard This area of the dialog lists all of the video clips selected for export. The columns in the table, from left to right, are: 1. Clip Name 2. Start - The starting point of the video clip relative to the overall timeline of the video in seconds. 61

62 3. End- The ending point of the video clip relative to the overall timeline of the video in seconds. 4. Total - The total length of the clip in seconds. 5. Transition - This list allows you to add a transition from one clip to the next for a more professional appearance. 6. Duration - The duration of the transition in seconds.

Delete Clip This button removes the selected clip from the list so it is not included in the exported video file. Random Transition This button adds transitions to all of the clips, selecting the type of clip at random. To AVI AVI stands for Audio-Video Interleave and is a common file format with an extension of.avi. Compress Video Activating this option allows you to compress the video by selecting a codec (coder-decoder) from the drop down list to the right of the option. Compressing video reduces the size of the exported video file. There are dozens of codecs available with varying degrees of quality versus file size. The drop down list is populated with the codecs that are installed on your machine. By default, you'll only have a number of common codecs installed by your operating system. You can, however, download or purchase better codecs. One of the most popular codecs is Divx, which can be downloaded at Compress Audio 62

63 As with video, compressing the audio track of your video reduces the file size. The drop down list is populated with the codecs that are installed on your machine. Configure This button is available when the Compress Video option is active. It launches the properties window of the specified codec, if available. Please note that the codec properties is software created by the author of the codec and is not supported by espor. To MPEG MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group and is a common file format with an extension of.mpg. MPEG Type This option allows you to set the type of MPEG file to export. One of the best choices is MPEG2. Depending on the type you select, a number of other advanced options may be available, which you can be used to optimize the size of the exported file. To WMV WMV stands for "Windows Media Video" and is an efficient, streaming format generally used for the internet. The exported video has an extension of.wmv. WMV Profile This list allows you to select from a number of predefined profiles that are optimized for specific internet speeds. Each profile is descriptive for how the exported file is intended to be used. Please note that the slower the network speed (the smaller Kbps number), the lower the quality of the video will be. For the best results, select the highest quality for the assumed network speed of your audience. For example, if your viewers are using broadband (DSL or cable internet), select Windows Media 8 Best Quality based VBR for Broadband. Custom Profile Activate this option to enter a custom Windows Media Encoder profile. You will be prompted for a file with an extension of.prx, which can be created by the Windows Media Profile Editor. For more details, visit To Mov 63

64 Mov is a Quicktime file format authored by Apple. Quicktime movies generally have excellent quality but do require a Quicktime player to view. You can download the Quicktime player at Video Compressor This option allows you to set the video compressor to use for the exported video file. Both MPEG4 and Sorenson3 are excellent choices. Depending on the type you select, a number of other advanced options may be available, which you can be used to optimize the size of the exported file. Audio Channels This option allow you to select either Stereo (dual channel) or Mono (single channel). Unless you have a specific, set this to Mono to reduce the file size of your exported video. Video Options These options allow you to determine the properties of the exported video. Frame Size These two text boxes define the size of the exported video by allowing you to enter the width and height. This works in conjunction with the Resize option. Frame Rate This text box defines the number of frames displayed per second of video. The frame rate used for television and films is 30 frames per second. Since the frame rate impacts the size of the exported video, a frame rate of 12 or 15 is typically used for videos on the internet. The video still looks relatively smooth, while saving file space. Resize This option works in conjunction with the Frame Size option. None exports the video at the same size as the original video, ignoring the dimensions entered in the Frame Size text boxes. 64

65 Stretch resizes the exported video as necessary to fit the dimensions entered in the Frame Size text boxes. Please note that this may distort the image depending on the difference between the dimensions of the original and exported video. Crop resizes the exported video by trimming it to fit the dimensions entered in the Frame Size text boxes. Please note that removes a portion of the image based on the difference between the dimensions of the original and exported video. Preserve Aspect Ratio exports the video at the same aspect ratio as the original. The aspect ratio is the width divided by the height. For example, the aspect ratio for a standard television signal is 4:3, meaning it is four units wide and 3 units high. When using this option, width of the exported video is determined by the width entered in the first Frame Size text box whale the dimension entered in the second text box is ignored - instead the height is calculated from the aspect ratio of the original video and the entered width. Tip: To avoid distorting your video, export your video at the same size or by using the Preserve Aspect Ratio option. To determine the size and frame rate of your original video, right-click over the video in Windows Explorer and select Properties > Summary.
