You can create an unlimited number of templates with a maximum of 25 categories (concepts, actions, etc.) per template, fully configurable.
Each category can represent a technical gesture, individual action, correction for the next match, strength or weakness. You set the limits.
Each category is represented by a graphic button and you can change the name of the action to be viewed, the size, colour, access key, recording times, etc. You can also use an image as a category, create a transparent category window, capture the desired screen area and convert it into a category.

Analyse a captured video:
The formats admitted in this version are AVI, WMV, MPEG and MOV. You can use any supported digital video file for analysis, recording actions and viewing it as many times as you wish, whenever you wish.
Once an event has been analysed, you can generate independent videos with the most important actions, to be copied, sent by e-mail, recorded on DVD, etc. You can superimpose text on the video to be generated.

With a simple click on any video player of Nacsport you can extract the selected frame and draw or make notes over it, even over an image shown by a video camera in real time.
Output formats: bmp and jpg.
All the versions of Nacsport have a TimeLine clearly showing what occurred in an event. All the actions recorded can be easily adjusted and reviewed. The TimeLine provides a working environment which optimises the time spent on analysis and you can lengthen or shorten actions, eliminate, duplicate, change concepts, add new categories (lines) and change its name.
The TimeLine is the most important tool for working with recorded actions.
With this tool, you can adjust all your measurements (actions) at once, by synchronising all the records on one category (line) or the whole TimeLine with the video.

You can extract all the frames contained in a video sequence, select the number of frames to be extracted and view them. Draw on the extracted frames and save the complete sequence in a folder.
With this tool, you can overlap two actions playing them both at the same time, with the possibility of selecting the degree of visibility of one action relative to the other.
A presentation is a group of different records under the same name. For example, you can create a presentation called "Defence" containing different actions which are examples of what you want to describe.
This version has no limitation to presentations. You can select if one or more registers are visible or not when the presentation is showed and you can insert the name of the registers (with the beginning and end) over the video.
Just drag the actions of interest from the TimeLine to your presentation.
