GSA Golf: Video Swing Capture

Golf Simulator Cameras

200 to 800 fps

Video Swing Capture and Swing Analysis

combined with ball and club tracking

for use with a golf simulator

Note: GSA Golf Swing Capture software is free of charge with the purchase of any other VisTrak camera tracking system

i.e. SCX, EVi, Eagle and LX

The world's first swing capture system that combines swing capture with ball and club tracking for use in a golf simulator

Main advantages over other swing capture systems

1. Super high speed up to 800 FPS

2. Cameras measure ball speed, path and vertical launch angle

so you don't have to buy an additional launch monitor

3. Cameras interface with all major golf simulator game software systems

GSpro, TGC, CG, E6 etc

4. Cameras can be converted to a regular hi-resolution ball and club tracking system like the SCX and EVi systems

just by swapping out the lenses and repositioning the cameras

5. Auto Start and Stop

because the cameras detect a swing

6. Option to use Color or IR cameras

The advantage of using IR mono cameras is that you don't have to use visible light in the enclosure.

i.e. the enclosure can remain nice and dark

while color cameras require bright visible lighting that will brighten up the enclosure area

7. System can be used with any other launch monitor

e.g. GC3, SkyTrak, Protee VX, Trackman etc

8. Club tracking (i.e. club face angle, path and speed) will also be available later

9. System captures just the swing itself so you don't have edit the videos to find the swing from thousands of frames

The SCT hi-speed camera - with wide angle lens and long exposure time -

captures 32 to 128 frames of the ball and club with the players club swing before and after ball strike.

The combo SCTS is - to the best of our knowledge at least - the only hi-speed camera tracking system that combines

both ball and club tracking with swing capture video playback.

The SCS captures the player and ball viewed from the side while the SCT captures ball and club viewed from overhead.

The post shot video playback contains 32 to 128 frames from both cameras.

The 200 frame videos can be saved and retrieved for individual players for a particular date.

Dual panels allow comparisons to be made of the same view angle or from two different view angles.

Playback and recording speeds can be adjusted. Plus the usual step/run forward, backward video controls.

Setting the Launch Zone

Auto start/stop recording without the requirement to use a foot switch

System detects ball in the user defined launch zone area and automatically starts recording.

After ball strike (detected by the ball no longer in the launch zone), the system automatically stops recording after an additional 100 frames.

System captures 100 frames before ball strike and 100 frames after ball strike at 50 to 90 fps

Min ball color?

The system detects a ball in the LZ area by scanning the LZ area for any pixel greater than or equal to the min ball color.

The color is in gray scale levels of 0 to 255.

A reasonably bright white ball would have a gray scale level of at least 150.

Ensure that the ball is seen as relatively bright white and the surrounding area far darker.

Depending on lighting conditions, some adjustment my be required.

SC Camera Controls

The above image shows the new exposure, gain, frame rate and capture time controls.

Camera exposure and gain settings are made in real-time with the cameras running so you can immediately see the results.

Total frames captured is currently 150. i.e. 75 frames before and 75 frames after ball strike.

Manual Start/Stop with Timer

For those that would prefer to manually start the swing capture procedure,

you can set a timer that will indicate (with a beep) when the system is ready to capture the swing .

The system will then automatically stop recording after a few seconds.

You can then review your swing captured in all cameras with the video playback features.

If you have purchased just the cameras, the following lighting is recommended.

IR LED CM Vision lights
