The new features in Tactic 8.0 are designed to elevate sports analysis workflows, allowing coaches and analysts to produce detailed insights with greater efficiency. Here’s a closer look at how these new functionalities streamline the process and enhance the quality of sports analysis.

1. Team ID

Tactic Pro’s new Team ID feature leverages artificial intelligence to improve player detect functionality by not only identifying players and their movements but also determining their respective teams.

Simplified Team Identification

Team ID assigns specific colours to each team’s players using home and away colours and designates participants such as officials and goalkeepers as unclassified objects. Analysts can effortlessly select the current formation and attach graphics to specific players. The graphics then follow the players throughout the video, making it easier to explain tactics.

Team Dimensions and Shape Graphics

The Team Dimensions function allows the placement of graphics that span the total length or width of a team, displaying distances in various units. The shape function highlights the team’s formation by attaching region graphic points to the outermost players. This tool is invaluable for visualising and explaining team strategies.

2. Detailed Analysis with Slow Motion Effect

The ability to add slow-motion effects to video analysis is a game changer for detailed examination.

Precision at Various Speeds

Analysts can now insert slow-motion effects at speeds of 50%, 25% or 10% directly into the timeline. This effect is saved as part of the analysis, ensuring that slow-motion playback is automatically included when the analysis is reviewed or exported. This feature is particularly useful for scrutinising critical moments in gameplay.

3. Simplified Operation with Lite Mode

For users who prefer a less complex interface, Tactic Scout, Advanced and Pro now include a “Lite Mode.”

Ease of Use for All Skill Levels

With a single button press, “Lite Mode” simplifies the operation by automatically pausing the video and inserting a graphic’s outpoint in the timeline, making it ideal for scenarios where graphics are used only on paused video. This mode makes Tactic more accessible to users with varying levels of experience.

4. Advanced Tagging Capabilities

Tagging enhancements in Tactic allow for more detailed and organised analyses.

Adding Labels and Notes to Tags

Labels imported from XML or SCvideo packages are now visible and can be created in the edit tag panel. Additionally, users can add notes to tags by right-clicking them, with notes displayed on hover. This functionality allows for more comprehensive and organised tagging.

Sharing and Importing Tag Files

Tags can be easily shared and imported by different Tactic users, facilitating collaboration and consistency in analysis.

5. Faster Layoff

Analysis files can be exported up to 50% faster than real time, with the “As fast as Possible” option enabled by default.

6. Updated Graphics

Dual-Coloured Lines for Enhanced Clarity

The new dual-coloured line feature allows analysts to use arrows with two distinct colours. By using dual colours, analysts can create more visually engaging and easier-to-understand presentations, ensuring that viewers can quickly grasp the nuances of the analysis.

New Graphic Event Parameters

Several graphics now have event parameters that allow colours and text to change dynamically during analysis. Virtual players can also be rotated to face any direction, allowing the user to follow their running direction, and arrows can display dual colours.

Enhanced Strap Tool for Customizable Text Display

The strap tool in Tactic has been updated to offer greater flexibility and functionality. One of the key enhancements is the ability to auto-fill the text with the name of the analysis being saved. Additionally, the strap tool now includes options to change text dynamically during the analysis, providing real-time updates and insights.

Collectively, these features enhance the efficiency, accuracy and clarity of sports analysis, making Tactic an indispensable tool for coaches and analysts aiming to provide top-notch insights.
