| Duke Track & Field goes Hi-Def Almost 2 years of use with CoachView's SV4 multi-camera analog system, Duke University Track & Field has upgraded to CoachView's HD (CVHD) system. “Their SV4 system was good and provided video analysis that we were unable to get before but the CVHD system is awesome,” said Associate Head Coach Shawn Wilbourn. “Ease of use and the incredible image quality are two of my favorite feature. We use it several times a week to help our athletes and coaches train at the highest levels possible.” Assistant Coach (Throws) B.J. Linnenbrink likes using the CoachView exclusive feature called Virtual Cams. “Taking one or two cameras and splitting them into multiple views so that we can focus on the foot work in one view, the torso in another, and shoulder and head alignment in another view is great,” said Linnenbrink. “The mobility of the CVHD is a great addition as well. We can use it inside during one session and take it outside during the next. We are up and recording with multiple HD cameras in less than 5 minutes. Recording, playback, and analysis couldn't be any easier.” Monday, July 19, 2010 ZenoLink, CoachView/StrokeView Aid Duke Researchers in Breakthrough Study of Divers’ Biomechanics Durham, N.C. – Two state-of-the-art technologies, ZenoLink and CoachView/Strokeview, are collaborating with researchers at Duke University in a ground-breaking study of rip entry for competitive divers. ZenoLink is an advanced 3-D Motion Analysis technology that helps expose the strengths and weaknesses of athletes’ movements. CoachView/Strokeview specializes in high-definition video capture. The companies are assisting Drew Johansen, head diving coach at Duke, and Dr. Eric J. Hegedus, an associate professor at the Duke University School of Medicine, and his Duke colleague Dr. Jennifer Moody in a study of the efficiency of divers as they enter the water. The researchers hope to learn more about the dynamics of water entry and how divers can control movements that affect water displacement, which would minimize splash and help competitors score better in the entry component of judging competitions. “I have been coaching for over 20 years and have participated in many studies with USA Diving, the USOC and international collaborations; and I believe we have broken new ground in the diving world,” said Johansen. “We are utilizing state of the art technology combined with top minds in three different fields of study to understand technique, learn physical demands and find new information to create new training plans for the most important skill in the sport of diving.” Johansen lauded the support he and Hegedus have received from ZenoLink and CoachView/StrokeView. The results of the study, he said, will help American divers excel on the world stage. “To have a group like this study the movement and learn the technique in an effort to help the athlete reduce the risk of injury, as well as build the necessary strength needed to excel and stay healthy, can take Team USA to the next level on the international stage,” said Johansen. “For the first time I am working with a group that is not just collecting data – this group is looking for answers.” Hegedus said the research effort is unprecedented in the sport of diving. “How lucky we are to have people who are so dedicated to injury prevention and improved performance in athletes that they would donate their valuable time, substantial knowledge and cutting edge resources to the cause,” he said. “I am sure there are other cases out there, but I am unaware of a team of coaches, biomedical engineers, physical therapists, and an industry technology expert who work together so seamlessly and without a trace of ego, despite the stellar careers each has away from this venture.” Chris Welch is the biomechanical engineer who founded ZenoLink, which is based in Endicott, N.Y. The company uses video to take highly sophisticated, research level biomechanical measurements and create a 3-D model of an athlete’s unique movement characteristics. “I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to employ ZenoLink technology in this study,” said Welch. “Working with CoachView/StrokeView has enabled us to capture images never seen before in diving. And we couldn’t ask for more energetic, knowledgeable partners than Drew, Eric and Jennifer to help us sort through the data and use it to create practical training applications.” Jim Klinger is the creator of StrokeView LLC, which is based in Greensboro, N.C. “We are excited about this unique opportunity to combine our hi-def above water video capture and our multi- camera underwater technology to meet the video standards necessary for ZenoLink to produce a sports analysis study of this magnitude,” said Klinger. “Our video capture technology is the perfect match for the demands of this nature.” The study team recently concluded two days of intensive data gathering at Duke. They are currently engaged in data analysis and expect to present their findings in the coming months. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 13th, 2010 CoachView.us Unveils First and Only Multi-Camera Hi-Def Video Analysis System Greensboro, North Carolina, May 13th.

We got that and so much more with SV4. They have built a system with athlete, coach and team in mind. I have been a part of programs that have utilized video feedback with athletes for over 20 years. This system is the best that I have used in terms of providing your athlete with a quick, practical and useful tool that will provide significant feedback.” Bill Dorenkott Head Coach Women's Swimming The Ohio State University "SV4 system has been a wonderful addition to our video portion of our daily practices. The cameras are clear and can get any picture needed based on placing them in the proper positions. We have found the system easy to set up (10 min or so) and take down and can be left to record the entire practice or just a portion based on your needs. Our team has enjoyed seeing their videos and has made numerous strides in the short time we have had the system." Bill Wadley Head Coach Men’s Swimming The Ohio State University "Studying underwater technique is critical for providing quality feedback to swimmers. SV4 gives you 4 different angles every lap allowing the coach and swimmer to maximize their technique development." David Marsh CEO and Director of Coaching Swim MAC Carolina Our SV4 is the best piece of training equipment we have. It brings credibility to us as coaches as the athletes can actually see what we are asking them to change. With SV4 we have the ability to get 4 different angles and include the front view/side view/turn and moving all on one shot. This is great because sometimes the athletes key into the one thing you are looking for and something else in their stroke falls apart. With the 4 cameras on one lane they really need to keep focus throughout their swim. Also, we have the ability to video 4 lanes at once and watch side by side each individual performer as they compete against each other. The cameras never lie and the system is easy to use! SV4 provides IMMEDIATE feedback. Having the ability to pause, view in slow motion and frame by frame helps emphasize the points coaches try to drill home. It is the best purchase you can buy other than the pool itself. It will immediately make your athletes and your coaching better.
