A basic video analysis setup requires 3 key elements:
 Webbsoft software
Suitable computer

On customer demand, we can also deliver training
and support on the peripheral hardware items that are required.
We can also offer advice and recommendations to those that
wish to utilise equipment they already have, but want to
ensure the systems will operate. |

| computer requirements |
 Processing video can require larger amounts of computer
processing power and hard disk space than ordinary applications.
If you intend to use video extensively you need to choose
your computer wisely. For all products, we recommend use
on computers which meet or exceed the following specifications.
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista
Pentium 4 - 2.0 GHz processor (or equivalent)
256 Mbytes of RAM
32 Mbytes video display RAM
Firewire (IEEE1394) port
30GB free hard disk space (for capturing and storing video)
Note:
For Pentium M (Centrino) the minimum processor speed
should be 1.4 GHz.
Applications that do
not capture video do not require a firewire
port.
For SwingerPlus and SwingerTeacher a minimum of
512Mb RAM is recommended.
It is also recommended that all available Windows updates should be completed |
|
|
| video cameras |
 All Webbsoft applications that support video capture
are designed to work with Mini DV cameras through the firewire
interface. Analogue cameras can also be used with an appropriate
converter.
We recommend the PANASONIC, JVC, Canon and Sony range of Mini DV camcorders. The camcorders we can supply are delivered
as standard with 3 mini DV tapes and a firewire cable,
so you are ready to go.
In all cases we recommend the use of a suitable
tripod. Upon request Webbsoft can source and supply a suitable model. |
