4 Video Playback Windows / Automatic Synchronisation
Up to 4 videos can be viewed at once, enabling easy analysis and comparison.
Up to 4 videos can be opened automatically in sync, allowing for key points of the action to be compared accurately. N.B. Videos must be captured in synchronisation.

21 Point Automatic Digitisation
Module (2D) & Markers:
Designed for the elite coach,
sport scientist, podiatrist, physiotherapist and biomechanist.
This module is designed for the user to digitise their own
video images (2D). From this you can create point trajectories
of specific markers or even an 18-point anatomical model. Distances, velocities and accelerations of both
linear and angular motion can be calculated and displayed
in the analysis window. An example of the types of markers used with Quintic Auto Tracking are shown below...
Centre of Mass
Quintic uses an 18-point digitisation model to identify the centre of mass, display the trace on the video and produce linear data in a graphical form. Data can be exported to Excel. ‘The 'Centre of Mass' (COM) model has been implemented, with the assistance of Dr Philip Graham-Smith, into the Quintic Biomechanics video analysis software following the 18 point manual digitisation process. The ‘COM’ model calculations have been developed and adapted using the biomechanics published literature below.

Horizontal,
Vertical and Diagonal Calibration:
There are FOUR options to calibrate a video file using Quintic:
(i) Horizontal and Vertical Calibration of a known distance:
golf club / javelin / treadmill / cricket wicket / 1m rule...
(ii) Horizontal Calibration.
(iii) Vertical Calibration.
(iv) Any direction calibration.
All calibration measurements can be Imperial or Metric.
This calibration procedure is required for the analysis
program.
Note: The video image must be at 90 degrees to the optical
axis of the camera and must have a known reference in
view. Once a common origin has been defined, a simple
transformation from video image to object co-ordinates
can be made. The user must use a fixed camera, on a tripod,
with a fixed zoom.
Zoom Function:
Essential for accurate digitisation and production
of data, this function provides a zoom window where the
video file is magnified. (Up to 10 x magnification). |
|
Multi Point Video Linear and Angular Analysis
Linear / Horizontal / Vertical and angular data for up to 21 videos can be displayed graphically, with average and confidence / prediction interval calculations available. Data can be exported to Excel if required.
All measurements can be Imperial or Metric. Distance, Velocity & Acceleration (Linear, Vertical, Horizontal measurements) are displayed.
Create Frame Templates:
This
feature allows you to create your own 'Frame Templates'
- up to 21 points (including Centre of Mass - Male & Female Models).
A number of example templates can be found with the 21 Day trial Biomechanics v21 software.

Edit Current
Frame Displays:
This
feature allows you to undo your last digitised points and
also create a trace of exisiting points to increase accuracy.
Crosses, and lines allow you to view previous digitised
points. Any trace can be saved and then added to at a later
date.
Overlay Animation:
All animations can be overlaid onto video files
and viewed synchronised with the video footage. 3 options
of animation display are offered: lines, smoothed lines
and crosses. The first two are shown below. 3 options of
animation trace are provided, individual frame, complete
and progressive. The progressive trace is shown below.

Split
Screen Animation Window:
Animation figures can also be seen in a separate
animation window. This window is synchronised with the main
window. The animation window contains the single image capture
feature (more)
and can also be used for multi-captures (more)
as shown below. |
|
Interactive
Graphs and Data:
All graphs and data produced in the Quintic
Digitisation module are interactive with the video file.
The graphs and data values change as
the video plays frame by frame. This allows distances, velocities and accelerations
to be displayed in the graphical window. |
Event
Markers:
This function is used to identify specific points
along the point trajectory: for example club head velocity
at impact. Up to 20 event markers can be used for any one
video clip. In order to create event markers that are visible
on the analysis program, the user draws a line bi-secting
the point trajectory. The point at which the line crosses
the point trajectory in the main window will be indicated
by a vertical line within the analysis program (see diagram
below). This will then represent the impact point of the
golf club with the ball. |
Intersection Angle Model:
Quintic uses specific digitisation templates to identify the point at which 2 separate lines that connect digitised points intersect. Upto 4 intersection angles can be created in this way, see diagram below.
Filters & Exporting Data (Raw & Smoothed):
All data produced in the Quintic
Digitisation module can be exported to Microsoft
Excel. One simple click away, this feature allows for further
analysis of the raw data. Butterworth Filters, Spectral Density Function, Residual at Cut of Frequency, Interactive Frequency Analysis, Mean, Standard Deviation, Durban Watson... |

Synchronise
with RSccan - Gait & Balance
All video files, graph and data displays in Quintic Biomechanics can be synchronised with the RSscan Footscan Pressure Plate data.
The user can see the pressure, weight distribution, centre of pressure measurements and visual output of the RSscan Footscan Pressure Plate in synchronisation with the video images and data from Quintic Biomechanics using separate synchronised dual windows. The Quintic synchronisation module is included free of charge upon request.
