The new features in Tactic 9.0 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. AI Keyer – Our Fastest and Most Accurate Ever

Automatically detect and key the pitch with unmatched precision and speed.

Intelligent Frame-by-Frame Surface Recognition

The new AI Keyer represents a major leap forward in automation and accuracy. Once enabled, it uses advanced artificial intelligence to recognise the pitch or playing surface and automatically adjust the key on every single frame of the video. This delivers a flawless result even in challenging conditions such as variable lighting, shadows, or surface wear while dramatically reducing setup time. The result is faster, cleaner, and more consistent keying than ever before.

Only available in the Football package.

2. One-Click Pre-Processing of Clips

Instantly prepare clips with automated AI tools for faster, smarter analysis.

Streamlined Setup for Maximum Efficiency

With a single click, users can now pre-process an individual clip, folder, or group of clips. This automatic workflow applies the AI Keyer, AI Pitch Calibration, Camera Tracking, and Team ID and saves the result directly as an analysis. The feature dramatically reduces setup time, allowing users to focus on adding graphics and insights instead of manual preparation. Spend more time analysing, and less time setting up.

3. Enhanced Native Tagging and Timeline Controls

Improved design and functionality make tagging faster, clearer, and more powerful than ever.

A Smarter, More Intuitive Tagging Experience

The latest update introduces major improvements to native tagging within Tactic. The refreshed darker timeline makes tags easier to view and manage, while new functionality allows users to add rows, move tags, and adjust the timeline with greater precision. Buttons now feature clear visual indicators to show when they’ve been activated and how long they will run. Additionally, tags can now be exported directly to the RTSW folder, simplifying collaboration and making it easier than ever to share key insights instantly.

4. Multi-Select for Faster Graphic Control

Easily select and manage multiple graphics at once with intuitive drag selection.

Greater Precision and Control in the Virtual Stadium

The new Multi-Select function allows users to drag a selection box over the video interface to instantly select all graphics within that area. This enhancement gives analysts and operators far greater control when positioning or adjusting multiple elements simultaneously. It’s especially powerful in the Virtual Stadium, where users can now move groups of graphics together for faster, more efficient editing and visual consistency.

5. One-Click Re-Encode for Seamless Playback

Instantly match clip frame rates to Tactic’s settings for smoother performance.

Consistent Frame Rates with a Simple Right-Click

The new Re-Encode feature simplifies clip preparation like never before. By right-clicking on any clip within the Clips folder and selecting Re-Encode, users can automatically convert the clip to match Tactic’s current frame rate and ensure a constant frame rate. The newly encoded clip is then added straight back into the Clips folder, ready for immediate use, ensuring smoother playback and consistent performance throughout the workflow.

6. No-Clip Graphics for Standalone Title Slides

Create fully customisable slides without the need for a video clip.

Flexible Presentation with Independent Graphics

The new No Clip Graphics button allows users to add a title slide without any video underneath. These slides are fully customisable. Users can select an image as the background and layer on text, images, and other visual elements as needed. Each slide can be saved as an analysis, added to playlists or videos, and manipulated just like any other analysis. This feature offers greater flexibility for building professional-looking presentations, introductions, and summaries directly within Tactic.

7. Customisable In-Game Scoreboard

Add real-time context to clips and matches with a fully customisable scoreboard.

Professional Presentation, Fully Integrated in Tactic

The new Scoreboard feature lets users add a dynamic, customisable scoreboard to individual clips or entire games. With full control over logos, fonts, colours, text, and even extra-time indicators, analysts can tailor the scoreboard to match any team or broadcast style. This integrated tool removes the need for external software, saving time and simplifying workflows while adding professional context to every key moment of the game.

8. Enhanced Offside Tool

Visualise offside moments and player positioning more accurately than ever before.

Smarter Analysis That Follows the Play

The updated Offside Tool introduces new functionality for greater tactical clarity. Previously, the offside line would automatically switch sides when crossing the halfway line. With this enhancement, the line can now follow players across the halfway line, allowing analysts to visualise not only offside positions but also the spaces left behind players. This improvement provides a more accurate and insightful representation of team structure and positioning throughout transitions.

9. Future Trails for Predictive Player Movement

Visualise where players are going. Not just where they’ve been

Smarter, Forward-Looking Analysis

The new Future Trails feature allows users to display the projected movement of players, showing where they are going rather than only where they’ve been. Fully customisable like existing trail graphics, this enhancement works seamlessly with Team ID to automate the process. Analysts can now illustrate tactical intentions, anticipated runs, and positional shifts with greater clarity, bringing a predictive dimension to every analysis.

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.
