Golf Simulator Cameras
200 to 800 fps
Video Swing Capture and Swing Analysis
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 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
3. Auto Start and Stop
because the cameras detect a swing
4. 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

You can also combine close-up frames from the overhead camera
with swing capture frames from the side mounted camera
Video spot light lighting will be required for bright color images
The SC systems can also be converted back to a
full tracking club and ball tracking system
simply by swapping out the lenses and repositioning the cameras

System can be used outdoors too
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 75 to 150 frames before ball strike and 75 to 150 frames after ball strike at 200 to 800 fps
System features Line drawing and angle measurements
System records and saves swing video files at up to 290 FPS.
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
The system can automatically start and stop the cameras
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.
Lighting options
Color or IR Monochrome systems ?
Color
If you like the look of the color camera swing capture systems
then you'll have to put up with pretty strong visible lights shinning on you
which may cause a significant amount of glare.
IR Monochrome
On the other hand, if using IR monochrome cameras, there won't be any glare and your enclosure will remain nice and dark
but your swing capture videos will be in black and white
If you have purchased just the cameras, the following lighting is recommended.
IR LED CM Vision lights
for use with IR Monochrome cameras
