| The Basics |
| A basic video analysis setup requires 3 key elements: |
Webbsoft
Technologies Software
Computer (desktop or laptop)
Camera
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 Pentimum M (Centrino) the minimum processor speed should be 1.4 GHz. The other requirements remain the same.
SwingerStudent, SwingerAthlete, SwingerViewer & SnapperPlayer do not capture video and therefore do not require a firewire port.
For SwingerPlus, in particular when using dual camera capture, a minimum of 512Mb RAM is recommended.
For Windows 2000, Service Pack 4 should be installed. For Windows XP, Service Pack 1 or 2 should be installed. For either operating system DirectX should be updated to be at least version 9.0. All of these updates are available from the Microsoft website.

|
Cameras |
 All Webbsoft Technologies 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.
In all cases we recommend the use of a suitable tripod. Upon request Webbsoft Scandinavia can source and supply a suitable model. |
