LOGON SCREEN
>>
The rst screen Scout Analyzer displays is the logon screen. Here you can create or choose Pro and Student
accounts for the Swing Archive. The last swing stored for a student is shown to the right of the selection
elds.
Create new Pro/Student account
A new account for a Pro/Student requires to enter a name only. This name should be given as “Doe, John”.
A special name “Pro”/”Guest” is used for all who want to log on without naming. For this reason the name
“Pro”/”Guest” is reserved. You can create accounts only for names which do not exist already. More func-
tions as deleting names are available within the “edit”function.
When you have selected a Pro/Student combination you can proceed by clicking the [LIVE] Button. Scout
Analyzer will then start the Live Mode (capture mode).

LIVE MODE CAPTURE MODE
>>
Basicly the system has two dierent operating modes, Live- and Play-Mode. In “Live-Mode” the software
shows the actual live Image of the camera and the red LED to the left of“Live”ashes. In “Live-Mode”the
system is prepared to capture a new swing.
In “Play-Mode” captured or loaded swings can be reviewed and analyzed.
If the systems detects an “impact” while showing “Live-Mode”it automatically stops the“Live-Mode” and
switchs to“Play-Mode” and displays the last captured swing for further analysis.
Please nd more information about Impact-Detection in section “Visual Impact Detector”.
When system is in“Live Mode” the camera display settings can be adjusted easily using predened sets
for dierent light conditions:
• Set1: Sunny sky
• Set2: Cloudy sky
• Set3: Indoor use
The predened settings are available in the context menu (right click) of the camera button:
>> CAMERA SETTINGS PREDEFINED SETS
>> BUTTONS AND CONTEXT MENUS
Buttons of the Scout Analyzer software can show three dierent states. These states indicate the status of
the corresponding function that a button provides:
selectable active inactive
For some buttons additional functions are available in their context menus.You can open the context menu
with a right click on the button. Please nd an example for using context menus in the following section.

VIDEO IMPACT DETECTION
>>
When the software is in “Live Mode”it can automatically detect an impact of a golf swing by using the
visual impact detector.
• start“Live Mode”by clicking [LIVE] or by pressing the F1 - Key on your keyboard
• activate the Impact-Tool by clicking the [Impact] button:
• click once on the live image to activate the marker tool. Move the cursor over the golf ball and click
once again to mark current position of the golf ball in the live image.
• After the second click the ball position is marked with a small red dot (see gure below).
• Please Note: the [Activate Impact] button left to live is now activated (see gure below).
After marking a new ball position with the [Impact] - tool the [activate impact] button is automatically activ.
You can manually enable or disable the visual impact detector by pressing this button.

OTHER IMPACT DETECTION
>>
External Sensor (optional):
Hardware Installation:
• make sure that the SCOUT ANALYZER Software is not running
• plug the external Impact sensor into a USB port on your computer
• wait until device is ready to use (see image below)
Software Conguration:
• start the SCOUT ANALYZER software
• start “Live”
• right click on activate impact button (left to LIVE Button)
• select “external impact”
Foresight GC2
If you have the Foresight GC2 connected with your SCOUT ANALYZER system you can use the GC2 as
an external impact detector. Just make sure the GC2 is connected and for impact detection you have:
“external impact detector”selected (see image above). Impacts detected via GC2 can have a delay of
about +/- 10 frames.
Manual Impact
Press F8 to trigger an impact manually

OTHER IMPACT DETECTION
>>
Trouble with impact detection ?
# impact marker position
In case the marker “I” for “impact position” is not positioned correctly, please make sure the acous-
tic impact detector works properly.You can assure that by checking the blue LED of the impact detec-
tor. The LED ashes at swing-impacts (or loud noises i.e. clapping).
# impact caused by swing in adjoining simulator
In case the acoustic impact detector“listens”to impacts that of a golfer in the adjoining simulator,
you can either adjust the gain with the rotary switch of the device or (recommended) use the visual
impact detection (see section visual impact).
8
VIDEO SLOTS
>>
Video slots are temporary storages for swing recordings (1..4). By entering “Live-Mode” one slot is selected
automatically in which the next swing recording is stored (after the system detects an impact).
In “Live-Mode” the selected slot is marked with an “R”-Icon. After an impact is detected the software
changes in “Play-Mode”and the slot that was marked with the “R”-Icon will hold the recording. This slot is
then displayed as active. Video slots are selected one after another. I.E. when the 4th slot is active and the
software enters“live-mode”the rst slot will be selected to store the next recording. The previous swing in
slot 1 will then be overwritten.
Context Menu:
• clear
deletes a temporarily stored recording from a slot
• lock
set the lock In order to protect a slot against overwriting. A maximum of 3 slots can be locked simulta-
neously
• load slot from archive
opens the swing archive to load a stored video into the desired slot
save to archive of pro / student
saves the recording of the slot permanently in the archive of the selected pro / student
• load from le
opens a window to load a video (avi-le) from the le system (i.e. USB stick)
• save to le
opens a window to save the recording of the slot permanently into a selected folder of the le system
(i.e. USB stick) with any desired le name.

COMPARE
>>
For detailed comparison the compare-mode allows to display the same perspectives (down the line or fron-
tal) of two dierent swing recordings side by side. Like in “Play-Mode” it is possible in compare to replay
play both swings synchronously or navigate through the swings step by step.To activate the compare mode
click on the comp-button (see image below at pos. I )
Swing recordings are synchronized at impact position (position of the I-Marker). Use CTRL + Arrow Key Left
or Arrow Key Right for frame by frame play back of just the right video in order to synchronize the videos
at another swing position.
The recording that is displayed before compare mode is active will be selected as the Master video. All
other swings within the video slots can be compared to that video. (see image above at pos II and image
below)
