Dartfish, a video synthesis company based out of Alpharetta, Ga., has launched myDartfish 360, a data collecting software for sports organizations without big budgets. The program will allow coaches from low-budget teams — such as those in amateur or lower-level professional leagues — to share detailed video analysis on a myriad of topics with their athletes, and vice versa, all for a yearly fee of $480.
The new software service enables users to slap pre-prepared descriptions of specific events in a given game or practice, such as “Scoring Chance,” Cross” or “Long Ball,” as a game takes place, affording future viewers the luxury of reviewing what they need to review without thumbing through an entire game or practice’s film. The service then sends the video notes to Dartfish’s cloud service, allowing the notes and its corresponding video to be seen by anyone the user wishes.

myDartfish 360 is complemented by two other Dartfish apps to enable mobile use: myDartfish Express and Dartfish Note. myDartfish Express is used for instant feedback and technique analysis, while Dartfish Note is used for game tagging, otherwise known as notational analysis. The new software also utilizes Dartfish’s “Still Shot” feature, a proprietary method of adding information to recorded video that requires no chopping or re-rendering.
myDartfish 360’s release expands upon Dartfish’s February release of the myDartfish Express app. Each feature shares an online video library, meaning that any video recorded and uploaded to either application — whether from a phone camera, a camcorder or a computer webcam — will be available on any device with the app.
